LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

RUMOR: Project Durango Will Not Have A Disc Drive

Posted on Friday, March 9 @ 09:28:53 Eastern by Keri_Honea


Hey kids, there's a new console coming! You know what that means; it's rumor mill time from "sources"! Yay!

According to one such "source" who spoke with MCV, Project Durango—the next Xbox—will not have a disc drive. It will, instead, offer "some sort of interchangeable solid-state card storage." It was not confirmed if this "card storage" will be proprietary like the Vita's storage or regular ol' SD cards you can snag for $10.

This is a rumor to be sure, but I honestly would not be surprised if this came to pass. We're on the road toward digital-only media, and Bill Gates himself said years ago—during the whole HD-DVD/Blu-ray war—that going digital for all media is the future. At the time he meant it for movies and TV, but it's becoming a closer and closer reality for games, especially with the popularity of XBLA and PSN games and, of course, Steam.

How I feel about it is a different story entirely. I kind of waffle on both sides of liking it and hating it. But supposing that this rumor is true, what do you think?

    If they take away backwards compatability this is not a big deal to me. But I'll miss throwing a games disc when it pisses me off! And how will I get my fix of "new game smell"!!

    I love new game smell too!

    I would miss being able to lend games to friends. That is one reason I wound up getting a PS3. Two of my best friends had a PS3 and no 360. Once I got a PS3, we could swap games back and forth again.

    I hate hearing things like this. The ONLY reason they do this is to remove the ownership from the consumer

    If I have to keep my 360 to play 360 games and have 2 ****ing consoles and sets of controllers in my tiny bedroom I'm going to punch Bill Gates in the dick

    I heard it will have a mini USB that you can plug into the back of your skull, Matrix style.

    Not having a disc drive would make it quieter. However, I heard a rumor that this rumor and all other rumors are Shit.
