You've been saying how the hardware costs on the PS3 won't scale well with time due to proprietary technology. The costs are high enough this generation really. You have:

You're talking about fixed costs. What I 'm suspicious of are the costs of putting each copy of a game in flash. I haven't yet seen an argument for why these costs will be negligible even in 2011 for a big game (as they are with optical media especially DVD right now). $5 for 16 GB of storage media alone isn't acceptable I suspect (and that's not the current price).
BTW, why did you mention HDD? That wouldn't be removed, at most it could be turned into Solid State Drive which is not free. Also it has nothing to do with game media, it's required either way for downloads etc.
