steven36 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 By Brad Sams This shouldn’t come as a major surprise since I wrote about this back in November, but Microsoft’s on the cusp of releasing a digital-only edition of the Xbox One S console. Earlier today, images of the device leaked and confirm my previously reported information. Winfuture.de found the images and confirm everything I have reported so far, it’s arriving May 7th, will not have a disc drive, and looks just like an Xbox One S. Crucially, the new information states the device will cost 229 euros which is a bit more than I was expecting but this likely includes taxes as well. In the US, I would expect the console to cost a little bit less than the European price when converted as this pricing would suggest a $259 price point in the US. This is is too high considering an Xbox One S bundle costs $248 currently. Seeing as the images of the device are now showing up online, the official announcement shouldn’t be too far away. Microsoft is hosting an Inside Xbox event on April 16th and this may be where the company announces the new hardware. What we have not heard about yet is Microsoft’s disc-to-digital program that is code-named Odessa. This is the ability to take disc-based games and trade them in for a token to download the digital version of the game. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The AchieVer Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Microsoft’s affordable all-digital Xbox One S leaks online Image Courtesy: Microsoft.com Microsoft’s long-rumoured all-digital and affordable variant of Xbox One S has shown up in latest leak. The leak of Xbox One shows what the disc-less console could look like and pricing details have been also revealed. This Xbox One S looks exactly like the Xbox One S with the optical drive. The box of the console has a symbol to indicate the absence of a Blu-ray drive. It looks like the marketing name of the affordable console could be Xbox One S All Digital (edition). More surprising is the price. The price is set at €229.99 (roughly $260), but it could lower in other markets. The bundle of Xbox One S all-digital edition also includes a controller and three preinstalled games – Minecraft, Sea Of Thieves and Forza Horizon 3. Image Courtesy: WinFuture It’s worth noting that the starter bundle for the normal Xbox One S costs €299.99. In other words, the value €229.99 may not be the bargain we’d hoped for. However, Microsoft hasn’t officially revealed any such details and only time will tell the price tag that the affordable Xbox One S will carry. Disc-less Xbox One S all digital release date The release date of disc-less Xbox One is stated to be April 16 and Microsoft will reportedly begin selling the console in Europe from May 7.
