Also worth noting that the PS4 will read a blu ray disc 3 times faster than the PS3.

Exciting times ahead indeed


No, because access-times are still PITA. I hope they put an option like MS so games can be put on hard-drive. I don't want to play any game on an optical disc anymore in my life.


yea, its called buy digitally. You do know the only reason that feature was even added to the 360 was to save the lens from overheating the system, and subsequent RROD right? Made no sense to me that tyou install it to the HDD, just to have to always have the disc in to play. DO they still do that????

*sigh* Why all this hate?

First:

Optical Disc Drives are set to break. The BR-Drive of old PS3 broke in many consoles. But this applies to all ODDs, not Sony-specific.

Optical Disc Drives are *loud*. Compared to disks and (of course flash) they are ridiculously loud.

Optical Disc Drives are *slow*. The access-times of any ODD are much higher than with HDDs, not to mention SSDs.

 

And now to you: What is that with RROD? Really boy, why? It was a new *feature* to dashboard resulting in better loading-times and less noise. The install has never been mandatory as Sony did with some games. And of course you had to keep the disc in because otherwise you could... really, don't you get it? Piracy?
