How can this meme be taken seriously when it's implying removing the disc drive allows dropping the price $100?
A Blu-Ray drive just is nowhere near $100, especially not a bulk order by OEM.
The cost is probably around $25, so on the large immaterial to a $100 price drop.
So if MS want to drop the price much via subsidizing it, they can do so now without any change to the drive.
Also showing this meme to be a sham is it's complete silence on physical retailer relations,
who actually make money on retail game sales, and not really all that much on console sales.
Handling that would be a CRUCIAL element of such a change, so ZERO MENTION of it just rings bells: FAKE.
