i will just never believe that dropping the "disc player" will have a dramatic impact on a consoles cost. obviously it is not free but it also isn't $100 of the cost. i think this is just wishful thinking on the part of a (relatively) few gamers. but those gamers seems to think dropping the disc will allow the machine to cost $50 less while also significantly increasing the amount of storage. i just don't buy that.
but whatever, if ms think it makes sense go ahead an try. i would be curious to see the sales ratio between disc and discless console. for a while i thought i would even like a discless console because i buy all my games digitally and almost all my TV comes from netfix but honestly,.. to lose even the option to buy a game on disc or to rent a movie from the library. ...not worth it. i'll stick with the disc based version so long as they offer it.
also i don't see how MS gets away with a slightly lower spec'd model. isn't that called the x1x and been on the market for years?
