Why is the difference a $100? Why does removing a disc drive lower the cost a $100?
Are those new and expensive or something?

The disc drive is like 20$.
So the 100$ differnce is actually more like 80$ and maybe a few $ less in plastic and shipping/packageing costs.
They basically sell it at a loss, but recoupe it from digital sales haveing higher returns than physical.

Yep.

People will be all over this (and the Series S, to a smaller extent) on holidays and from there onwards. I think physical media will take a large hit this generation, after all.
