why should you still use the disc when the console doesn't need the disc anymore? if you watched the conference they said something like "switching between a movie, game and tv seamless". does it sound seamless if you have to stand up from your couch and search for the disc of the game you want to play before you can play it?

instead of one second or a few seconds, this would take a minute or more to do that and start the game.

so you think they just did it for multitasking?  I really dont think of it as a compelling reason, considering all the benefits people loose because of it.

i don't really know what it would change if you would have to have the disc in the drive or not. that's what i don't understand. the console would still check the "code" (forgot how they called it) and that every 24 hours if you want to play the game in that timeframe.

if you have to have the disc or not, your disc is useless without the code being "free" for another console.

and why should it be necessary to use the disc if you can't do anything with the disc even if you don't need it anymore?

maybe i just didn't understand what the problem is.
