Microsoft squashes rumors of a cheaper, all-digital Xbox One

Some Microsoft employees rumored to receive free white Xbox One, make us jealous

Microsoft has no plans to build an Xbox One sans Blu-ray disc for $100 less than the current model, according to a tweet by Xbox chief Aaron Greenberg. The rumor floated up from the NeoGAF forums recently after Larry Hryb (aka Major Nelson) said that a white, employee-only version of the console could hit retail "waaaay in the future." When asked to confirm if a cheaper Xbox One with a 1TB drive was coming, Greenberg replied "no, you cannot believe everything you read on the internet." Redmond would no doubt deny any talk of a cheaper console to avoid hurting sales, of course, but it has confirmed that it's testing a console with no Blu-ray drive. Considering that many thought it wouldn't have that feature to begin with, we wouldn't be shocked to see this rumor crop up again.
