It's for any account that has inactive gamepass (so expired or never owned). My 2 months for $1 trial just expired and I immediately signed up for this. 5 months for $2 seems like a bargain to me no matter how little I use it. Already cancelled the auto renew just in case.

Not me. Digital prices are ridiculous and the only time I buy games from the store is when they are on offer.
I think digital for xbox will work mostly due to the game pass, that many games on there could easily wait for a sale to get the newer releases.
I think MS will have more success for digital games than Sony, purely due to there game pass service.

It might be a tempting proposition to some with the right bundle or discount, but assuming the regular One S will still be sold alongside it there'd need to be a compelling reason to get the disc-less one.
I get the impression they're using this to test whether there's an appetite for disc-less at all. If it's a flop they haven't spend any money on new designs or retooling and if it's a success, it'll perhaps influence the design of the next Xbox console.

Places like CEX must be really worried about the way the film and games industry is going with all digital. The majority of their business is based around second hand DVD, Blu-ray and games.
For that kind of price, I could see myself picking one up when I just need a new controller!
Xbox One Elite controller or normal Xbox controller plus an entire console? Hmm.I honestly belive, it can get a one s for £190 new now, i can see the prices dropping with a small drop on one xFor that kind of price, I could see myself picking one up when I just need a new controller!

I’m weighing up either another Xbox one S or an Xbox one X.
I bought an S for rdr2 when it first came out but ended up getting rid but now I regret it.
I know the differences between the S&X but can anyone tell me if they are real noticeable? It will be hooked up to a 4K TV.

If you’re using a 4K TV forget about the S right away. The picture will look really soft even with 1080p but a fair amount of games are 900p or less on that system. You won’t get any high res textures because of the decreased memory and load times will be marginally slower. X all the way for you, mister.

Anyone xbox x getting noisy? I can now hear my fan. Still not bad, but it's no longer silent
good for the dung heap lad along with thoses elite padsUpgraded from the S to the X myself not that long ago and it's night and day. Loading speeds, graphics, and frame rate are all improved. It's probably not far off the difference between the 360 and the One to be honest.
