It'll probably end up being like the Apple TV, which iirc doesn't have an optical drive either.
It just means you'll be forced to buy media from Microsoft's new media stores, which I'm not having too big a problem with. In fact, I'm in full support of this. This is how I expect things to happen:
- The Xbox comes out with a port for an SD card, no optical drive.
- You can use SD cards in the same way you can with a 3DS.
- The Xbox Store allows you to download games, music and videos right to your SD card or maybe machine.
- The downloaded media is locked up tight with DRM to prevent piracy.
