The PS4 and Xbone teardowns showed that the blu-ray drive costs ~$30, so with this in mind I don't see how a drive-less Xbone selling for $399 would work for MS, and if the price was $469, then I don't see how the loss of practicality is worth a $30 saving. With this gen having ~30-50GB games, I just don't feel that there is a large enough market of people with sufficiently large download speeds (let alone people on download quota's) to think that trade-off worthwhile.
