The next Xbox could be disc-free and arrive as soon as May = digitaltrends.com
"We’re nearing the end of the current console generation and Microsoft has already said that it’s hard at work on designing the next generation of Xbox systems. However, the company is reportedly planning a disc-free console to help bridge the gap for more casual players. According to Windows Central, Microsoft will begin accepting pre-orders for the “Xbox One S All-Digital Edition” in April, with plans to start delivering the console in May. The console appears to be otherwise identical to the current Xbox One S and there aren’t any plans to stop offering that console when the digital-only version arrives. The loss of a disc drive would not mean the loss of any games for Xbox One fans. Every single game available on disc for the console is also available as a digital download. The reverse is not true, with certain games — even from Microsoft itself — only available digitally. We first heard about potential plans for a disc-free Xbox One system in November. At the time, Thurrott reported that the system would cost around $200, making it $100 off the price of the current Xbox One S. The same report also said that it would offer a “disc-to-digital” program that would allow those with physical Xbox One games to trade them in for digital licenses. With the increasing size of game files — and download speeds failing to keep pace — it seems very unlikely that Microsoft would opt to make its next-generation consoles all-digital, as well. Last year’s Red Dead Redemption 2 came in at around 100GB and took up two Blu-ray discs, and downloading a game that size on an internet connection in certain parts of the U.S. could take nearly all day"

Gerucht: Xbox One S All-Digital Edition al snel uit = eurogamer.nl
"Microsoft werkt mogelijk aan een Xbox One S-versie zonder fysieke disc drive. Deze nieuwe console zou de naam Xbox One S All-Digital Edition dragen en al in mei te koop zijn, met een officiële aankondiging in april. Daarover gaan nu verschillende geruchten.
De console
heeft Maverick als codenaam en zou één van twee nieuwe Xbox One S-varianten zijn. Het idee er achter is dat je er alleen downloadbare games op kunt spelen, er passen geen schijfjes in. Omdat een onderdeel mist, kan de console goedkoper worden aangeboden"

Dus het lijkt er aan te komen inderdaad, en ben dan ook benieuwd.
