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

So, from that link on flash drive read speeds, "80GB and 160GB flavors and will cost about $2,649 and $4,899". So if we assume games next gen will be bigger than the 360's current games, say 15-20 gigs, which i think is low, but we'll go with that. A game might cost $660, sweet! I love games that are more expensive than the console.
