This means that PS4 is either going to require manual disk swaps as disks themselves are going to enforce the DRM for the installed game, or will be pirates wet dream.

Of course it will require disk swaps. I don't see how that's even a bad thing. Takes about 5 seconds.

"disk swapping" was one of the things PS3 had over 360 in the flame wars, so that this argument now seems to do a 180 makes me smile :D

Yeah, and now every One game has to be installed. Lol, the reversal is funny.

As will every retail PS4 game...

For me its not disk swapping that is the issue, its disks in general. For someone that lives in a trendy but small condo in Downtown Toronto, and wants to put together a seamles entertainment unit which is used for multiple purposes including gaming, there really is no room for piles of disks on the wall and on the ground while I am gaming.

Options are good and hopefully PS4 has an option to install a game and verify DRM online as I really don't plan to continue gaming using disks as the medium. To me disks are a distribution device and can pretty much go in the garbage once a game is installed on your profile and saved in the cloud...

there's always something. It wasn't two days ago that you said sony would do the same thing as MS.

You berated them for that, and then now for not doing it.

Dont make stuff up... I may have said they will do the same but I wouldnt "berate" them for it. I actually want them to introduce installs and online registration of games. It will at least show they get the 21st century digital consumption model and are striving to create a viable ecosystem
