An optical drive would be an interesting counter-point to the disc-less PS5 Digital Edition. But it would work against it being so darn small. But if it were an S2 or an S3, and the disc-less Series S still existed, that could be a winner actually. Nice idea.
The main downside being that Microsoft doesn't want you to buy discs anymore, they want you to buy digitally (and especially to subscribe to Game Pass). One of the reasons the rumours have them doing an enhanced Series S is that the Game Pass attach rate is better on the Series S than the Series X, after all.
But that's not a reason not to do it, IMO, if it gives them a competitive advantage. So like I say, I like the idea.
