Rumor: Microsoft's Considering Building a Disc-Less Xbox One for Release in 2019


https://ca.ign.com/articles/2018/11/16/rumor-microsofts-considering-building-a-disc-less-xbox-one-for-release-in-2019

Hmm. A $199 or cheaper XB1SS, with no disc drive by mid 2019, and possibly later in 2019 a revised XB1S for maybe $249? Along with a direct physical game trade in program with no cost to receive a digital code for the digital download. This isn't a dumb move if they keep the XB1S, except it sounds like they are still working on Scarlet and are trying to decide if they should go discless with it. It kinda seems like the XB1SS is more of a trial than anything, to see if people will buy into it, and if so, you just may see Scarlet go completely digital. That or the base Scarlet may be solely digital with the more expensive model having a disc drive. Is the XB1SS actually the lower performance streaming console they have been talking about maybe?
