GTA V to be on 2 discs, no disk swapping required !

It downgrades accessability in the form of disc swapping and in the way games access data to offer continuious streaming experiences like the ones found in Uncharted games and the Last of Us, no loading screens, also made possible by the use of a standard built-in HDD, another future-proof trait and very valuable feature the PS3 had over the 360. 360 hardware limitations held back gaming because of its DVD drive and lack of HDD in all SKUs. 360 didn't have HDMI, Wifi or HDD (as standard) when it launch, and it has a DVD ROM. Pretty backwards if you ask me, kind like Wii U these days.

I feel you're exaggerating how difficult swapping a disc actually is to make a point. If you feel this strongly about it I assume you'll be going all digital, if you haven't done so already.

Uncharted and Last of Us did have loading screens, they were the cut scenes. 360 games do the same thing.

You can just buy an HDD or use USB memory sticks for storage on the 360. Wifi has nothing to do with being future proof and can give you lag. Lag isn't the future!

DVD was not backwards, it proved to be sufficient for the 7th gen. The PS3's Bluray was not sufficient and that is why the PS3 relies so heavily on a HDD.
