A classic derailment by @MeachTheMonster :smhkobe:

 

[Liquid]

The original argument was

"as long as I can still trade in physical....."

Again im not saying its the best deal out, but its a misconception that there aren't any deals on digital games on consoles

$45 for Arkham Knight is not a "deal" in any sense of the word

 

[beenz]

I'd buy.

Digital only for me. Disc drives are a liability

I'm not going download only til they start giving out discounts for not having a physical copy.

 

[SleezyBigSlim]

shyt gonna flop harder then the 360 with no hard drive

 

[NZA]

im an all physical media type of person, but im glad folks can have options. sony may want to follow suit if this shows interest in the market

the benefit of having digital is that you don't have to drive to the store.

you don't have to switch discs

you can share while still having access to play

you don't have to install from a slow disc drive

you don't have to worry about the disc drive breaking(which is usually the first thing to go)

Smaller, cooler, more energy efficient console

and as demonstrated above, there are deals to be had, maybe not better than other formats/platforms, but the savvy shopper can definitely save money.

I'm a grown ass man so saving an extra $5-$15 means nothing to me, my time is worth more than money, so I just buy the games I want, when I want

they tried it with psp go and retailers had a fit. different device and different times, i know. just sayin

They should drop the disks. All my shyt has been digital on the Xbone..

 

[NotAnFBIagent]

I have yet to buy a disc for x1 but I still want a disc drive for the inevitable cheap used games deals

 

[daze23]

I think people will want it if/when they see how small it is

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Digital need to be at least 10 less for me to go at it 100%

Btw it will need a 2TB internal for this to make sense.

I'm actually surprised this wasn't an option at launch. Xbox one mini with Kinect for $400 or the one with the blu ray drive for $500.

Why? you can use a external hard drive. they make slim ones.

Can't you just use an external drive for more memory. I just copped a xone this weekend.... figured out this remote play with my windows 10 2n1... that shyt's boss . I'm laying in the bed playing games switching back and forth. I don't even want to use disks no more. If I had known about this xbox mini I would have gotten that instead.

Sorry but digital only is flop city in the console market. The majority of games are still purchased through physical. Its cheaper,you can resell,borrow and lend etc.

Anybody that thinks consoles are going all digital any time soon is delusional. Their may be an option,but it wont sell well.
