I can see a market for this, especially for a much younger crowd. And regardless of how any of us feel about it here, it's certainly the direction the industry is headed. I would say we will get one more generation of physical gaming before everything is either digital or streaming.

You missed the point: Normal Xbox One S is same price (depending on price of the games can be even cheaper) than Xbox One S All Digital and you'll lose the ability to play 4K Bluray discs.

But the people the system is aimed for don't care about any of that.

Even though it's only a difference of about $8 US, it still seems lame that it wouldn't be priced better. I may not be the target audience here (I'm not much of a modern XBOX guy to start with) and I'm no business man, but it seems like they should have just made it 200 Euros like the standard S is. I mean, whats the extra 30 for? From what I understand, this is an S without the disc drive, set up for just downloading games. So, couldn't they offer the system with the games for the same price as the standard unit, but technically save money by not having to physically make the discs for the included games and not including the drive? Or am I missing some sort of hidden production cost for the unit.
