The Xbox One without a disc player could have seen the final design and even the price leaked ahead of time

Microsoft has been winking at the _online_ gaming market for some time, thinking above all of a future in which _streaming_ might make us forget about consoles as we know them today. The penultimate step may be the launch of an Xbox One S without a UHD Blu-ray disc player that has been talked about for a long time.

The latest rumor pointed to an imminent launch, no less than April 16, two days from the date of this article. And although we had already seen fairly well-founded rumors that could show the future design of this machine, it seems that in the end Microsoft has not been able to stop the leaks and the final model and even the price would have come to light

A conservative design

Thus, thanks to our colleagues from Windows Central we have learned some images of what may be the final design of the new Xbox One, an Xbox One that will arrive without a physical disc reader and that It would come to be called Xbox One S All-Digital The first rumors would be confirmed in this way.

With a launch that now suggests that will take place in the month of May, specifically on the 7th, the new machine would focus , as we already knew in the digital game, leaving aside the physical support.

To do this, it would have a 1TB capacity hard drive, something we had already heard about, and to attract potential buyers, it would always have three titles already loaded. These three quite diverse titles would be Minecraft, Forza Horizon 3 and Sea of ​​Thieves

This information has been leaked thanks to the early release of the illustrative design of the box and in this way what was already expected is confirmed. The design is almost identical to that of the Xbox One S but now without the UHD Blu-ray bay and without the eject button.

The machine, yes, would maintain other basic specifications, such as support for working with 4K Ultra HD videos or support for HDR (High Dynamic Range).

The price

The other factor we wanted to know was the price, since the leaks spoke of a groundbreaking price. And in this sense there is also new data, since a price of around 100 euros was expected, which may finally fall short, since there is talk of a fairly large range.

Prices that can range from 100 to 200 dollars, although some media, such as WinFuture, even talk about the 229, $99, with a reservation period that would open throughout the month of April.

We will have to wait for the next few days to find out which of these rumors finally come true. Of course, if the price finally stays at almost 230 dollars, I don't think, and this is in a personal capacity, that right now Microsoft will be able to attract potential buyers Unless they have an ace up their sleeve and include (promotionally) the expected subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. _What's your opinion about it?_
