If MS doesn't use a disc drive in their next Xbox, they might as well not release it, it will bomb and fail so bad. Hell i know i wouldnt buy one if it didn't have a disc drive. |
Why?
dvd/bluray players are cheap. What does it gain you?
I'd prefer SD card type games as their far more durable, easier to store, faster, and can be tossed into a small box next to the system to hold every game vs large case holders.

At this point, games would be insanely costly at retailers, SD tech with a bit of content space is expensive as hell. My 60GB system drive costs 200$ alone.

There is a large difference between a SSD system hard drive and a solid state cartridge. The harddrive needs to be optimised for reads AND writes and be able to rewrite many times without fail. you can buy 64GB USB sticks for under $60 and again those are devices that need to read and write. Solid state also means you only have to provision as much space on the cartridge as is required for the game. Personally I hope they do go this way, but even with the rapidly falling costs it would still be in the vicinity of a $10+ overhead per game so I have my doubts.
