    One thing that you didn't mention in your video is that the processor is different. It is now a 6nm processor which requires less power so less cooling is needed, hence the heat sink design change.

      That would most likely require some software modification as well.
      If the system still has some UI thing to eject discs or such, (IDR if the regular boxes actually have that. ?) then maybe. But I still figure that would be quite a maybe.

    Personally I see it as pointless - if you're spending the cash for the all digital version I'd rather spend the extra £30 here & get the full thing when there's less than 10% difference, if it had been like the PS5 then there's a decision, but the £30 in savings is barely worth thinking about. Nice to see it's essentially the same thing internally, should mean the availability of parts is widespread & easy to handle!

    If you do, try to install the disk drive. Before you do any soldering, can you do a closer inspection of that side of the board (I know you would naturally) first? Because just pausing it, other than the soldered parts, there is quite a difference in that area that I am curious about.

    Isn't the Disc drive paired to the motherboard? Also when it comes to a PSU, the rated amps denotes the maximum amount the PSU can output, It is up to the device itself to request how many amps it needs so a PSU of the same voltage but a higher amperage will work just fine on a system that uses less amps.
    On the original 360 systems the PSU bricks were always forwards compatible with lower power 360 systems but not backwards compatible as they wouldn't provide enough power that way.
