Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Rumour: Xbox One mini to launch in October. To drop the blu-ray drive?

I already own everything digital on Xbone except a physical copy of BF4 I never play.

I would totally buy one of these for the bedroom if the price were right.

Ok, you kind of have no idea what you are talking about, so I'll just cut to the point.

"Digital games can be lost. Say your console's HDD crashes 15 years from now, long after the system is no longer supported by the company that made it. You may be able to replace the HDD, but as the system is no longer supported you will not be able to re-download your digital purchases. You've lost that content forever. Meanwhile, I've been accumulating physical media for over 30 years. I have a couple hundred video discs (DVD & Blu-ray) and dozens of video games and music CDs. Never had anything stolen, never lost anything, never broke anything. All my discs and cartridges are still in pristine condition. I take care of my stuff. Personal responsibility, man. And even if I did lose something, and even if that thing is out of print, I can still, at least in principle, find it via the second-hand market."

Ok, this is all speculation, vibrato, and some of it is just plane wrong.

Both Microsoft and Amazon have guaranteed that you will Always be allowed to redownload anything you purchased.  So yes, 15 years from now you could download all your games.

I'm glad you have never had anything stolen or lost in a natural disaster in your lovely parent's basement, but that's just luck, and to assume nothing with ever happen might be true, but might be false.  

Anyway, hope you are happy with your soon to be retro gaming, but I think you are being left behind or learn to adapt as technology marches forward.

Hope you enjoy your collections and they make you happy.  Have you thought about posting some pictures?

 

 



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!
