Isn't virtually all new music and movies available online as well as in stores? I'm pretty sure it's the case at least for music.
I think you might be correct about music. Although, I'm not too sure about movies. I don't believe you can get all new movies digitally. Something to consider with music though, is 'CD stores' all across the country (US at least) many of which are going out of business.
Yes, Almost every song now-a-days can be downloaded. Movies are a bit tougher, there are a ton of movies that cannot be downloaded yet. However the lists that providers have increase in large numbers every month. Its only a matter of time before a company like netflix has 90% of movies out ready for streaming.
I don't agree 50 GB will be the standard size in the next generation. I think we'll see the PS4 being two PS3s duct-taped together, the Xbox 720 being two 360s duct-taped together and the Wii 2 will be four or five Wiis (i.e. 8-10 Gamecubes) duct-taped together. Where's the business feasibility of continuing to improve graphics and/or adding content for most games to be that big?
I'm sure some games will be larger, some will be smaller. But I expect all games next generation to be in HD and in general larger than this generations games.
That's some dangerous thinking. Already game cost is getting to a point where it's becoming too expensive to produce a decent amount of games in a generation. If the prices increase any more we may be seeing only one, two, maybe three games come out every several years from developers. Yes, it's likely that every game will be in HD come next gen. But as for it getting larger than 50gig? I doubt it.
