We are still far from an All-Digital Console Future

Recently it was reported that one of the versions of the Xbox One was potentially not going to have a Blu-Ray drive in it and was going to go digital-only as Microsoft wanted to make a device for the future – forward thinking.

Have there been any reports about offline XB1 owners? What their experiences have been like?

is it known how many consoles are offline?

I keep hearing the mantra that the all digital future is coming. I quite frankly think it's absurd. While Internet speeds will incrementally improve over the next 5 to 7 years, the game sizes for next-gen will double. As long as that disparity exists, and I see no reason to beleive it won't, physical media is going to be here to stay. #deal with it

My digital future has already started. I haven't bought a single disc and I'm loving it. Being able to instantly switch between all my games and having the progress pause and be ready for when I go back to it is amazing. The only problem I can see is lack of storage space, but once they patch in the external hard drives a TB or 2 should take care of that.

I'll probably give up gaming if and when it becomes all digital.

Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.

Skul is a metroidvania ? It’s on PS+ soon I’ll check it out. If it’s good I’ll buy a copy physically if they have one

If Pseudoregalia is one of the best I'd hate to see what the worst look like.
