Oh ok. Weird.

And basically what follows from this is that my dream of getting games for nextgen Xbox to be stored and sold on SD cards or some similar flash memory, is unrealistic because of price and size?

Well don't you live in Sweden with ultra fast broadband?

Anyway it'll definitely be possible as next generation games will be limited by downloadability, I.E. games will try to remain as small as possible in order to maximise potential download sales as these are more profitable than retail releases. So yes the Xbox Infinity could indeed dispense with an optical drive and distribute on SD cards as games will probably try to stay in the 10-15GB range. The only challenge is manufacturing the SD cards so they would likely be distributed by kiosk which prints and manufacturs the SD cards and cases.

Cool, but why distributed by kiosks rather than normal brick stores? I mean 3DS games are in SD cards but have a nice plastic package.

I live in Sweden but my internet is slow, 10 Mbits/s so about 4GB download per hour. I think I can upgrade it to 100Mbit for another $25 per month but I dont know how reliable it is because it still comes through the cable network.

How fast is your internet in NZ?
