As I have said before, I don't understand the point of the discs if they are basically "not needed."

If you want digital only that is fine ... it's not my thing but have at it. What advantage does a disc offer asided from wasted gas money driving to a retail store?

Next gen games may be like 10-20 GB in size if not more... Some people with internet caps may have issues with this hence they can get the disk to bypass the downloading part. Disk is just a distribution method.

Its also there to make sure retailers don't stup selling the Xbox One. They want a cut of game sales too...

I can see your point, but doesn't the Xbox One let you play games as you download them, or is that just the ps4? So it really doesn't matter how long a download takes especially if the console allows you to download stuff in a low power mode or something so it can keep downloading uninterrupted from start to finish.

I don't know what the average caps are for Internet data usage, but unless you are downloading like 5-10 games a month I don't see that being too much of an issue.

The retail part makes sense for retailers, but I don't see how the consumer benefits.
