Have to agree. We have used the drive in our Xbox One exactly 1 time since November.  Why spend $40-$50 on something that really isnt needed any longer. 


Depends on the person.
I personally have no need for a last century optical disc drive, but lots of other people do!

At-least Microsoft is providing consumers, choice. - Which is never a bad thing.

Will take all this with grain of salt but 2014 looks to be Xboxs year with AAA games.

Price cut is welcome.......those country launches are so late. Please drop kinect MS.

Hell even Halo 2 bringing back its legendary multiplayer has more significance then what the competition is offering.....and that is both amazing and sad, depending how you look at it :P. Halo 5 beta seals the deal.

Sunset, Quantum, Horizon 2, Halo 2........you have yourself a kick ass holiday.

Most of times I didn't agree with you but this Halo 2 part I agree 100%.

Halo 2 was the best multiplayer in Halo franchise... Halo 3 was the best game overall (SP and MP) but Halo 2 is the best one when we talk about MP.

And now people will say I'm biased but Halo 4 was everything any Halo fan didn't want to happen... even after the weak Halo: Reach.

If this is true, I can't wait to play some Zanzibar in updated graphics.

You also get a larger more expensive console.  The optical driveless version will be less expensive and smaller.  Likely will end up selling more in the long run.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

(expressing sadness that a Halo 2 remake will outsell a PS4 holiday 2014 exclusive)

I for one think its awesome.

I like you a little bit more with that Halo 2 comment :)

As a avid Halo fan....Halo 4 was everything a "lore" fan wanted to happen. Integration with the novels (where as Bungie retconned the Reach novel), a more emotional story, CGI cutscenes (opposed to in-game), and better graphics then Bungie could make.

However lore fans are vastly outnumbers by the MP fans.....and that is where 343 slipped up. Thankfully, they actually staffed up their MP team, and if those Halo 5 2015/Halo 5 beta with Halo 2 rumors are correct, it shows promise.
