    Removing the disk drive on the new Series X is a terrible idea


    Microsoft plans to refresh the Series X in 2024 with a new design which eliminates the disk drive. Stating this as plainly as possible, removing the disk drive from the consoles is a slap in the face to anyone who has bought games on disk for the system or any legacy systems. This is akin to Apple removing the headphone jack on the iPhone. Your customers, the people who have bought your products, now get left with a shelf of garbage. Without a doubt, the convenience of digital download is great and I imagine it will continue to see significant use. But removing the disk drive when people already own physical copies of games is disrespectful to those customers who lose access to their collection.

    The new console design is plenty big enough to accommodate a disk drive. The company should aim to do right by its long time customers and respect the collections of games they have purchased over the years. This happened with Nintendo across many of its systems, players getting told "Sorry, that cartridge doesn't work in this new console". Playstation managed to carry over legacy games across at least a couple systems. Please aim to do better than your competitors because right now you are looking at sunsetting technology that was MADE for the current console.

    why was a batch of backwards compatible xbox games delisted recently????

    Huh the series x has a disk.drive

    You do know there are 2 consoles right

    The clearly digital only xbox series s and the disk and digital xbox series x

    Only the ps5 is planed as modular diskless with optional disk drive

    There was never announcement of xbox changes

    Just Dance on Xbox Series X

    Considering the Kinect doesn't work with the Xbox One X without the use of an adapter (which Microsoft no longer makes), I highly doubt Microsoft will suddenly make it work with the Xbox Series X.

    Kinect is dead and should stay dead, it was a terrible idea for the Xbox One and its still a terrible idea.

    Friend bought me a game through gifting and it’s a series s/x game. I have a series s but it won’t download and says incompatible with this device

    I traded my one slim in for a series s. As it doesn’t have a disk drive. That’s the reason I didn’t get the series x

    Has anyone else had issues trying to download the Hogwarts legacy Deluxe Edition on their Xbox series S?

    What is the full name of your console

    .does it have disk drive

    If it is the xbox one S or have a dislikes drive that's not the series s

    Xbox.One games don't have a s or x requirement

    They are just xbox one

    Series consoles are xbox series s/x no one's in the name
