The new All-Digital Xbox One S is due out on May 7th, though there are a lot of questions surrounding the new console. Microsoft’s newest Xbox One is an unusual device: it sports no disc drive and can only play games that are downloaded digitally. Should you buy this new version of the Xbox One, or should you wait to see what else is happening with Microsoft’s games?
All-Digital Xbox One S
What’s Up This?
The existence of the all-digital Xbox One S might come as a bit of a surprise to some people. Who would even want a game console with no disc drive? Well, if you’re asking that question, you already know this system isn’t for you. However, if you want to play Microsoft’s Xbox games without breaking the bank and don’t mind the idea of downloading all of your games, read on.
The Difference
The all-digital Xbox One is the exact same system as the normal Xbox One S. The only difference, of course, is the lack of disc drive. However, the system is also $50 less expensive than the disc-drive version, and it comes packed with three games.
For $250, you get an Xbox One S with no disc drive, an Xbox One Controller and Minecraft, Forza Horizon 3 and Sea of Thieves. Since Microsoft’s Spring Sale is on right now, you can pick up three months of Xbox Games Pass for $1. That means for the low price of $251 you can get access to tons of Microsoft and third-party games.
Should You Buy It?
If you already own an Xbox, there’s nothing new here. However, if you don’t have a game system and want one to play the newest AAA titles, this is a very wallet-friendly way to do just that. Microsoft’s made some huge strides in making their brand more appealing for gamers in the last few years. Maybe it’s time to give their newest Xbox a shot!
