Optical drives need to be kicked to the curb! Flash is the next-gen future.

The cost per gigabyte is still much higher than that of hard drives, so I'd prefer if the future was in downloadable titles. Granted, there are some problems with downloadable games, such as not being able to resell them, but if we cut out the retailer middleman the cost savings should make it attractive to many people.

Those cost savings are only really attractive to the console owners who pick up a larger royalty and developers who get a larger slice of the pie. Retailers would have a fit if games were offered for less online than in stores so its unlikely those savings will get passed onto you anyway. Steam for example is still full priced IIRC.

 

That's why I said "cut out the middlemen". They can't last forever.
