Seems there have been multiple sites reporting that a new Xbox is in production with this disk less format. So I think it might be true. I am like you @ndboarder , it doesn't really make any difference to me. I think digital games have a lot of advantages of physical copies. Plus I think technology is ready for it. Larger hard drives and memory cards out there, faster internet as well. I just know people like @C Pav that are collectors are going to be mad.
