Heck thats AS cheap as a blu ray disc.And most(99%) games would FIT on a 8GB flash chip. Now factor in that 32nm tech is gonna hit memory- so its going to get even more cheaper and roomier." Writeable BR disc may cost $10 for consumers but pressing costs of BR discs for companies is around $1. I found some companies who are actually pressing BR's with that cost. And DVD pressing cost 0.1-0.15$. |
oh yea totally.. and do you think apple pays all those korean/chinese manufacturers $10 for 8GB for its ipods.. hell no..if you mass produce anything and order shitloads prices will come down too. Another factor is that a flash card slot would cost next to nothing to put into a console.. as opposed to a blu ray rom drive which would cost say around $60-80.. so if they went back to carts we would actually be spending lesser on the console itself.
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
