Interesting. Makes sense to do bullet No. 2 if you're going to try out a digital-only console.

Not sure how a no disc drive XB1 would work with backwards compatibility, though.

No reason it wouldn't work the same. Take it to a retailer, swap it for a digital entitlement I'd expect. It's then in your library indefinitely, playable on current and future Xbox consoles.

A fun wrinkle there would be if they were able to let us play those on Windows too at some point.

We rarely use the disc drive, though in the living room we have a bunch of Ninja Turtles DVDs my son does play. In the bedroom the drive is wonked (base Xbox one this happens a lot apparently), but we'd only use the drive for redbox, and I have a bluray player i can pull in quick for that.

I'd really like the disc to digital aspect, would mean in theory we could take advantage of the disc based sales on games yet still get them digital. If I'm getting something on a big sale then I'd be more likely to get more games.

Latest MS acquisition rumor: IO interactive, creator/owner of the Hitman series of games.

Standby mode has NEVER worked correctly for me on my original X1 or my X1X. It's a wasted feature that does not work in my opinion. I can go in standby mode two times and then I will have to do a full shut down to get everything to work correctly. Never have this problem on my PS4.

It’s been fine for years for me. This current problem is new for me and seems to happen once or twice a week. I’m hoping it’s preview program related.

I believe it has to do with the private network ip renewal and possibly something to do with uPnP on the router. Xbox has always been a bit more picky than PS ever has been going back to PS3 and 360.

I had the issue on an old linksys router I had 3 years ago or so. I got the Netgear X4S router in early 2016 and it cut down - it would happen to one of my X1's every few days or so rather than every day. I recently got the Negear Orbi about 2 months ago and it has yet to happen to any of my consoles (currently have 5 connected in the house.)

Aside from getting a new router, you can try to increase your IP lease time in your router settings, or try giving the console a static IP. Just guessing here though, it might not help you at all.
