Qinux BittOne – does it need a memory card for games?

Mine didn’t come with squat on it, so a card was mandatory right out of the box. Maybe some sellers bundle one, but I wouldn’t count on it.

Some listings throw in a card, but I’d grab a decent one separately.

I’d grab a memory card in the same order instead of waiting, even a cheap one is fine for this kind of thing. The way I look at it, if the games are already on there you’ve got a spare for later, and if they aren’t you’re not stuck waiting on a second delivery. I’ve been burned before by assuming a gadget would come ready to go and then having nothing to play on day one, so now I just toss a card in the basket and sort it out when it shows up. Small thing but it saves a bit of hassle. Are you planning to load it up with a bunch of titles from the start or just poke around with whatever’s there?

That’s pretty much how I’d play it too, poke around with whatever’s already installed and add stuff as you go. Since you’re not planning to fill it up right away, even a smaller card would do the job for a while, no need to go big on day one. I’d just make sure the card actually shows up with the console instead of getting split into a separate shipment, otherwise you’re back to waiting anyway. Tossing it in the same basket and forgetting about it until the box lands is the easy route.

I’d skip it unless you actually know what games you want on it. Buying a card before you even have the thing just means you’re guessing at what you’ll need. I’d get the console first, see what’s actually on it, then decide.

Mine didn’t come with a card at all, just whatever was loaded internally, so if you want a decent library you’re adding one yourself. A cheap 32GB card has held everything I’ve thrown at it for months now. Skip the bigger cards unless you’re hoarding entire console libraries.

No idea why people are acting like this is complicated. If you want more than whatever junk is on the thing out of the box, you buy a card. That’s it. Check what size it actually takes before you order one though.

I don’t think a card is strictly required to get started, but the internal storage situation is usually the weak point on these things. If the listing doesn’t spell out how much space is built in, I’d assume it’s small enough to be annoying within a week. Worth checking the actual specs before you commit.

I’m in the same boat, trying to figure out what’s actually in the box before I commit. My guess is the games are already on there and the card slot is just for adding more later, but the listings are vague enough that I’d rather know upfront. Does the box say anything about included storage or preloaded titles?

That box label being that bare is kind of what I expected, not gonna lie. If the listing itself doesn’t spell out the storage or preloaded stuff, I’d just plan on grabbing a card separately so you’re not stuck with whatever tiny amount it ships with.
