Wont work unless they go full digital or insist on some kind of subscription service.

Surprised this method hasn't come up in gaming yet. In TV (terrestial, cable and satelite) there are a number of options for you to watch TV. Pay one off, smaller fee for a box and watch a few channels for nothing or subscribe to a service and get more but with the subscriptions, usually the box (Sky/Tivo) comes with it for nothing.

Nintendo (and/or others) could do a similar setup, release a cheaper  digital only console, but it comes with a consistant subscription to use but the console itself is free.

Sadly, I don't think the price of hardware yet allows such a thing to happen but with Playstation Now Sony could do it with the Vita TV. Maybe.



Hmm, pie.
