Cheaper Xbox One set for 2014 release, report claims

4.5
Information contained in forum 'leak' verified by multiple publications

A new, cheaper Xbox One SKU will be released in 2014, a growing number of reports have suggested.

The claim first emerged via a whistle blowing NeoGAF post, which suggested that Microsoft is planning a new $399 Xbox One model, possibly minus a physical disc drive.

nformation contained in the post has since been verified by multiple publishing sources cited by CVG, The Verge and VG247, that latter of which credits "trusted publishing partners" as verifying the new Xbox One SKU, which it says will be cheaper than the current $499 USD / £420 model.

Although the original NeoGAF post states the new Xbox model may be released without an optical disc drive, this has not been verified by any publication.

It has also been claimed that Microsoft will be releasing a white Xbox One in October, to tie in with the release of Sunset Overdrive, as well as a special Titanfall edition of its new console in March. The white Xbox One rumour has been backed up by sources cited to tech site The Verge.

Slyestcat What's the point of buying an xbox without a disc drive? You'd never get a good deal on a game. It'd be better to spend the minimal amount it would cost to get a steambox and then you'd have tons of great games for a very inexpensive price.


Eh, well I guess in some cases you wouldn't have to worry about getting a great deal on a digital game when you already have it on disc.

Kind of a pain in the ass, eh?

I think the XB1 version minus an optical drive is a stupid idea, however, the white XB1 looks very nice. Might buy one and have one of each console.

Krookodile would love to own the white xbox one, but not worth buying 2


I like how they choose to come out with a cooler Xbox One after everyone who wants one has gotten one, lol.

Out of all the things they would take out, it has to be the disk drive... Why don't they just take out like the Kinect things the disk drive is way more important.
