All games at this point are digital - the game installs to and runs off the SSD. Comes down to if you want the license check to be on MS' servers, or the presence of a physical disc.
Disc advantages - you can take them anywhere. You can buy and sell them. Prices usually fall on physical much faster than digital. But the biggest advantage, by far IMO, is being able to buy and play "out of print games". Some games you just can't buy digitally anymore because licenses have expired (see Forza horizon 1/2/3). You can buy old games on eBay forever.
Digital - nothing physical to keep track of, no games to swap. Sometimes will come with the "right" to stream the game from the cloud. Sometimes backward compatibility on newer consoles. YMMV on the last two though.

Any idea whether this thing is decent for resale? Not even for scalping, just getting close to what I paid...?

So $449 + tax - value of verbooten MR - $200 Amex credit - $200 sale of older Xbox + controllers and such = effective net cost of $45 Plus my time and effort in selling the old thing, setting up the new thing. Hmm.
The remaining questions, then, are whether the $75 Dell GC offer or other benefits are likely to come back for Black Friday with this console.
EDITED TO AMEND:
Nah, looks like I was way off on resale value. Looks like around $100, maybe $150 with extra controllers and such. Bummer. So a net cost of $100-$150. Still not awful.
