Well, it would actually be a good idea, as long as they didn't lose too much money on the hardware... It would pave the way for online distribution of big console games, and it would be quite ecological.

Some people are saying you wouldn't be able to play games which are already released, why is that? They could easily put those games online too.

 

 

1 Problem: how long is it going to take to download one of these games

another problem: Ratchet took up 22GB, you have an 80GB HDD. MGS 4 is going to take up another 50GB, so how many games are you going to be able to store?

You're right about storage (there would have to be a bigger hard drive). In terms of download time, it could easily work in Europe. Fast connections are pretty cheap around here (in Portugal and Sweden you can easily get a 24 Mbps connection for, at the very most, 50 € per month; usually 30-40 €).

People already download multi-GB demos these days, so it's not really such a big problem.
