Does it work our cheaper in the long run to buy an xbox one s with a CD drive rather than...

I'd rather pay a monthly sub than micro transactions, it's cheaper in the long run.

It is unfortunate I agree. I think the official drives are cheaper now at least. I know it is a lot of money to spend to play one XBox original game, but in the long run it will be a good investment since the official drives from MS will probably last longer
than the cheaper 3rd party drives.

It is supposably going to be just a standard xbox one s without the disc drive, It;s also supposed to be cheaper than an xbox one s aswell.

Yeah,the digital xbox one s is really aimed at first time buyers of this gen or people who have gone completely digital with their games.

If you have a load of disc copies of games that you want to play then paying a little more for a xbox one s with a disc drive would be cheaper in the long run if you factor in the cost of having to buy digital versions of the games you have on disc.

if i took the cd drive out of an xbox one s and attached it via usb to an xbox series s, would it be able to run discs?
