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

With a 4x or 8x Blu Ray and 4x the memory, could they get away with using an optical drive as easily? With patches etc becoming more important, having a SSD could alleviate the issue entirely.

Now I'm confused. Are we talking about the game media or the media inside the console? I thought this thread was about the former. I have nothing against Nintendo's approach of using SSD for internal memory instead of HDD.
