Microsoft to launch cheaper Xbox expandable storage cards: Report

[ad_1]
San Francisco: Microsoft is reportedly preparing to launch its new and cheaper Xbox expandable storage options from other manufacturers.
Earlier, a new Western Digital 1TB expansion card for Xbox Series S/X consoles was spotted on Best Buy which was priced at $179.99, reports The Verge.
The tech giant first introduced Xbox expandable storage cards with its Xbox Series S/X consoles almost three years ago.

The 1TB cards had a $219.99 price tag and were made exclusively by Seagate.
“While we’ve seen 512GB and 2TB options appear from Seagate, prices have stubbornly remained high, despite similar storage for PS5 consoles dropping significantly,” the report said.
It is essential that there be a second Xbox expandable storage manufacturer, as this should help to stabilise costs.
Moreover, it is still unclear when Western Digital’s new 1TB expansion card for Xbox will be available, the report added.
Last month, the tech giant had stopped its Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscription platforms, which allowed users to try the service for $1 for the first month before upgrading to more expensive plans.

Petrol Price will be cheaper: Finance Minister will give big relief

[ad_1]
There has been no change in the prices of petrol and diesel across the country for a long time. Petrol and diesel prices are running stable across the country, but in the midst of all this, a big good news is coming out.
The price of petrol can be reduced by Rs 18 and diesel by Rs 11. For the last 10 months, the general public has not seen any change in fuel prices, but Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has given a good news.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman indicated
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has hinted that there may be a big cut in the prices of petrol and diesel in the coming days. The price of petrol can be reduced by Rs.18. For this, big planning is being done by the central government.

Government is making this plan
Let us tell you that the central government is planning to bring petrol and diesel under the ambit of GST. At present, this will be discussed in the GST Council. If there is an agreement on this from the state governments, then there can be a big fall in the prices of oil. At present, fuel is taxed at the rate of 28 per cent.
Boom in february

Let us tell you that there has been a huge jump in the demand for fuel across the country in the month of February. According to the preliminary data of the industry that came on Thursday, the consumption of petrol and diesel has increased in double digits this month due to the severe cold last month. According to the data, petrol sales increased by about 18 per cent to 12.2 lakh tonnes in the first fortnight of February. In the same period last year, this figure was 10.4 lakh tonnes. This figure is 18.3 percent more than the first fortnight of February in 2021.
How much has the demand for petrol increased?
During the period under review, the demand for petrol has increased by 13.6 percent on a monthly basis. Earlier in January, the demand had decreased by 5.1 percent on a monthly basis. This decrease was due to the decrease in the movement of vehicles in the cold season. Sales of diesel, the most used fuel in the country, increased by about 25 per cent year-on-year to 3.33 million tonnes during February 1-15.

Haj 2023 To Be Cheaper By 80K, Each Pilgrim To Pay Rs 3.80 Lakh

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Haj Committee chairperson Safeena Baig Saturday said that this year Haj 2023 will be cheaper by almost Rs 80,000 and that each pilgrim is supposed to pay Rs 350,000 to 3,70,000 maximum for performing Haj this year.
Addressing a press conference here, Baig said after hectic deliberations between Haj Committee of India (HCoI) and the Saudi Government, Haj has been made cheaper this year. “As per our estimates, Haj 2023 will be cheaper by Rs 80,000. Each pilgrim who would otherwise pay Rs 4.50 lakh will have to pay between Rs 3,50,000 to Rs 3,70,000,” news agency KNO quoted Baig as having said.
She said that this year, over 10,000 pilgrims from J&K will perform the holy journey of Haj. “Haj office in Srinagar will facilitate every pilgrim including those who are having issues related to passport,” Baig said, adding that the Haj applications are already up on the official website of Haj Committee of India: www.hajcommittee.gov.in free of cost. “Earlier, every pilgrim had to pay Rs 300 for the form. Now, the form can be downloaded and filled with ease,” she said.
The J&K Haj Committee chairperson said that in case of need of conducting the RTPCR test, the government will bear the expenses and take samples of the pilgrims free of cost. She said that the pilgrims above 70-years of age will be prioritised for the Haj while women aged 45 years, without Mehram, can perform the pilgrimage in the groups. “A group of four women without mahram can perform the Haj 2023,” she said, adding that the Saudi Government has given a relaxation to the women who are not having any mahram but yearn to perform Haj.
She also said that from Azizia to Haram, pilgrims are likely to get direct bus services. “This has been the demand of pilgrims who performed the Haj in 2022,” she said. Asked whether there was any plan to address the issues of pilgrims in Makah and Madina as last year, many pilgrims complained of ill treatment by the hotels there, Baig said: “This year, Haj officers will create different groups on Whatsapp and stay in touch with pilgrims. In case of any issue or grievances, immediate redressal would be done.”
Pertinently, there will be 25 embankment points across the country for the pilgrims this year. HCoI has maintained that the pilgrimage this year will be much smoother than previous pilgrimages.
