Microsoft is gearing up to release the next version of the XBox with the key feature of the latest release is that the new XBox won't have a disc drive. While this may reduce the cost of each unit for Microsoft some buyers may regret the absence of the disc player given that many homes no longer have a standalone disc player relying on the games console for playing DVDs.
Perhaps this is a gift from Microsoft to Netflix introducing a new raft of customers looking for online content delivery.

In my day we didn't even have games. All we had was a wrench, and we used it to play dodgeball. And we liked it.
