Following a November report on Microsoft's plans for a disc-free Xbox One S option, new reports suggest that new hardware will arrive on May 7 and sell for a229 in Europe.

Thurrott.com's Brad Sams, who has been reliable on Microsoft-related hardware rumors in the past, this weekend pointed to reporting from German site WinFuture which "confirm everything I have reported so far." That report includes purported shots of the "All Digital Edition" of the Xbox One S and its European packaging. The hardware displayed there looks identical to the existing Xbox One S-right down to the sizing-save for the lack of a hole for the disc drive on the front panel.

The reported packaging for the 1TB system includes logos for first-party title Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, and Forza Horizon 3. It's unclear if those games will be bundled with the hardware or simply included as part of a potential Xbox Games Pass subscription.
