but if they won't have ANY physical media

why even make a disc dive n why not make it small n sleek

LOL...

Lets think about this for a minute:

 - what happens to your disc based PS3, PS2, PS1 titles

 - no BluRay movie, DVD, CD playback support?

How big is the average PS3 title? 10Gigs? 20Gigs? The legacy of BluRay for games will be huge amounts of space for a game and enormous titles!

160Gig hdisk - enough space for what... 10 games? On my current broadband connection, it could take a WEEK to download a 10Gig title - and use up 1/3rd of my monthly BW allowance. Awesome!

...

I agree that disc drive-less devices are the way of the future - but its just impossible for Sony (& MS?) at the moment. Even Ninty would struggle. GC games are only 1.5gigs (max) - but that is still large.

They may release a drive-less version of the PS3 in the future - but it will be something else. Some other type of device.

All future consoles (for now - if not forever) will have drives.
