As neat as that idea may be, I feel it shouldn’t exist until the next gen arrives....there will be confusion
Maverick:
an independent individual who does not go along with a group or party

So this is currently the one known as Maverick. Interesting idea here (and he’s still saying it’s coming this Spring):
MSoft already has all the info they need to launch a disk driveless system. I can guarantee you they track who is using a drive and who isn't. If they come out with a driveless system they already know who will buy it.
I can only see it doing well in the US, UK, a handful of parts in the EU and maybe South Korea
Oh, no, they'll lose their market share in Japan, which.... does the calculations... carries the one... is approximately zero point zero zero three.
First look at Xbox One S All-Digital box art; May 7, 2019, launch planned
Following up on our previous reveal of the Xbox One S All-Digital console, we now have a bit more information, as well as the box art and tentative release date.

Recently, we received product photographs of the upcoming Xbox "Maverick" disc-less console's box, which will be called Xbos One S All-Digital edition, in addition to a bit of additional context on how Microsoft plans to position the device.
Initially revealed by Brad Sams at Thurrott.com, "Maverick" is the codename of an upcoming Xbox One S model that has no disc drive. Instead, this console will be entirely digital. Recently, we revealed that it will have a mid-April debut, likely at Inside Xbox, with an early-mid May launch window. Additional documents we received indicate that this launch date could be May 7, 2019, with all existing Xbox markets targeted in a global simultaneous release.
The design of the Xbox One S All-Digital appears to be virtually identical to the current Xbox One S, without the disc drive and eject button. The product shots we received seem to indicate that it will come with a 1TB HDD and with Forza Horizon 3, Sea of Thieves, and Minecraft digital codes bundled into the box. It doesn't look as though it will be bundled with Microsoft's Netflix-like subscription service for games, Xbox Game Pass.
Our information suggests that the Xbox One S All-Digital edition will have the lowest recommended retail price (RRP) of all current Xbox One consoles, aimed at newcomers to the ecosystem, although the exact pricing is unknown at this time.
It seems that Microsoft is keen to position the All-Digital edition as a member of the Xbox One family rather than a replacement to the Blu-ray disc-based version it currently offers with the Xbox One S and Xbox One X. As such, it doesn't sound as though Microsoft is ready to ditch discs entirely, as it gears up to hit the next gen with the long-rumored Xbox "Scarlett" consoles, codenamed "Lockhart" and "Anaconda."
As with all rumors of this type take it with a pinch of salt until the official announcement, as plans can and often do change. But it seems pretty likely we'll be hearing more about the Xbox One S All-Digital console very soon.

Price is still a rumor. What is the regular S price? $299?Really? $259?
Would would think it will take off another $50 to get people into digital goods.
That price is too steep.
I was expecting $199. $250 would be pointless.
The hardware better be at least a bit change.Totes, but it’ll probably be 250-230 because of the pack in games.
The hardware better be at least a bit change.
they can at least get rid of that stupid ram they have in the S model and put the same kind that is in the xbox one x.Besides the lack of a orifice and a 1tb hdd (where the current cheap S only has 500gb) I doubt we’ll see any other change inside or out...would love to be proven wrong. Maybe another USB port, oh or usb c???
Looks like the PS5 will have an SSD so I was wrong when I said I didn't believe the rumors of the next xbox having an SSD, clearly both of them will be doing that next gen. If I'm wrong about something I'll admit it and I was wrong about this
I'm always willing to admit you're wrong also.
