Not a dealbreaker, but not ideal either. I've already personally got 9GB of apps (mostly Xbox Games) on my phone, and that's without HD capability in any of them. Add in the fact that you now have 1080p video capture, plus the device is now high enough resolution that you might actually want to store 720p video on it, and that can run out fast. 32GB is a start, but it's already behind the curve, whereas with an expandable slot, you can just keep adding.
And for music, the more space the better. Zune Pass / Xbox Music will make up for this some, but it's not always ideal (as of right now, you have to search manually for each album, for example. On that note, I'd love if a feature of Xbox Music was to match my collection on my PC, and keep a record of that in a separate 'cloud collection' of sorts, so I could browse through music I like that is stored on Xbox Music servers). Plus, it's not always great if you're low on battery, or out of an LTE area.
I'll still be getting this on day one almost definitely, but the lack of a storage slot is the sole disappointment on what is otherwise a great device.
