cd/dvd/bluray drives have had that since the dawn of time.
If you haven't had an optical disk drive die and eat your disc before, then you're about to be super relieved that some genius added that paperclip method of ejection.
So genuine question guys, this isn't meant to troll or annoy. Is having an Xbox One a bit redundant if you have a PC?
i just sold my OG Xbox One and the plan was to replace it with an Xbox One S or X. I have started to rethink this a bit with the other platforms I have (PC, laptop and PS4 Pro).
So I had a look to see if there were any games I am interested in that I can't play natively on the platforms I have. The only ones that came go mind were Sunset Overdrive, Red Dead Redemption (backwards compatibility) and Forza 6. I can deal with not playing the other two (or RDR on PS Now) and Forza 7 is coming out soon. Genuinely thinking about getting a Switch instead so I have full coverage of all the exclusive games.
Furthermore, the games that would take advantage of the One X I could just play on my PC (i7 5820k / 1070).
Thoughts? Again, I'm not here to trigger anyone, but wanted to ask fellow Xbox gamers that would likely also have a PC the reasons they have both.
Leaning to not replacing the Xbox, even though it was the first console I got this generation (and last gen) and always preferred Xbox Live.

I think there's two factors
i) How capable your PC is and
ii) Where your friends play
e.g. My nephew has a 1060 PC which is barely on because none of his friends have a PC. So he plays mostly on Xbox so he can play with them. He uses his PC for his virtual reality stuff only these days. None of my family apart from me has a PlayStation (which I would recommend to complement PC) so I'm always playing on my own whereas the rest of them are all on Xbox together.

Yeh fair points.
i) Fairly capable as specced in my post above so no issues there. Should compete with the One X. Also have laptop that is decent.
ii) My two closest gamer mates play on xbox. I hadn't been online with them for a while though before selling my One, and one of them is now getting a PS4.
The main reason to get an Xbox would be to play Destiny 2 and Anthem with these two mates, but I can play these games on PC if we don't decide to play together.

Sound, cheers. £64 for digital deluxe edition (10% cash back through quidco on CD keys)
I am right in thinking my son will also get the full digital deluxe package aswell? Mainly the 2 expansions? Looking forward to trying it, my xbox hasn't been turned on for a year.

Talking about destiny 2? you can share digital games between two consoles.
Soldato
Yeah, i mean does the content still go between both consoles? So we will both get the full digital deluxe packages.
Too late now anyway as i have already bought it but i am sure i did the same with fifa17 and only my console benifitted from the deluxe package and my sons console just got the full game.

I think microsoft have done a nintendo.
Supplied limited quantities of pre orders deliberately so they can show the world pre orders selling out of high demand.
Someone checked the xbox one x, on the amazon us charts and it was at #66 for top selling pre orders, vs #23 for the nintendo mini consoles.

Probably for Age of Empires IV. Getting close to being a Steam machine but done right. 
Soldato
If this means we could get starcraft on consoles. I'm all over it.
