well microsoft being microsoft they will go dlc. I too havent opened my dvd drive on the pc for a long time now. I just find discs the size of a plate too big nowadays. Evrthing gets smaller and as another poster said MY phone too has more bloody memory than a BR disc, who needs it. DLC or Cards but they might just put in a dvd drive for compatibility with 360 games. Other than that the next generation's leap will not be in controls as the case with this gen it will be in the storage side. SSD's and dlc for Microsoft, their advertising is heavily geared towards dlc content. BR really is just for the PS3 console wise maybe the PS4 too but other than that I really dont see why consoles NEED a BR drive and please no better gfx and sound crap that is just plain laziness from developers
"...the best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)
"Hey, Steve, just because you broke into Xerox's house before I did and took the TV doesn't mean I can't go in later and take the stereo." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)
Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.
""Windows [n.] - A thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition.""
