Blu-ray? Isn't that the format for all 8th gen video game discs? Unless MS intends to release a digital only xbox one console, blu-ray can't be removed from the console.

Not needed if its digital only.  They could shave $50 off the price and force people to only buy digital  (Thus increasing profits long-term).

The last time MS tried to "force" gamers to do anything (DRM, always online), it didn't work out so well for 'em. Honestly, I doubt that Spencer would risk it. Even a option for a digital only console wouldn't be  worth it. Those steam boxes don't even sell that well. I think it would be more worthwhile for MS to develope some new IPs to attract gamers to their console.
