Holy shit, I'd never buy a PS720 if all my games - even the physical ones - were considered digital... Is there any benefit for the costumer using that system?

500gb should be the bare minimum really... Like, the casual basic kit :P

Benefits are for digitial vs retail overall.

1) No need to ever change a disc. Turn on, pick game, play.

2) Quicker in-game transitions as HDD is faster than BR drive.

That's pretty much it AFAIK.

You don't gain the obvious digital benefit of not having to store the disc/case as you'll want that for back-up or reinstall, when needed.

How about DEAL WITH IT?  You can bet that in the next 10 years video game physical media will be phased out the same way all media has been.  CDs are phased out, DVDs are mostly phased out, and everything before CDs.   I welcome a day when we don't have to drive to the GAMESTOP to get our games.  The entire concept of a disc is so archaic AND fragile. 

Hey I'm a proponent of digital over retail. I just don't like losing the used games market.
