I get the feeling for better or worse, our kids will laugh at us when we tell them we had to drive to the store and pay $50-$60 a pop for one single game that came on some type of shiny plastic disc. Heck, they may even laugh at the concept of a dedicated game console in and of itself. 

Like I'm laughing now that my parents could go to a store around the corner, browse through racks of LPs of their favourite music and pick up a new album for $3.49 with awesome artwork and extras inside...

My kids will marvel at how I could buy games for $5 second hand, or a whole bunch of them on ebay or garage sales, play them all day as much as I wanted not being restricted by paying $5 an hour for streaming from a selection. $60 to own a new release and play as long as you want and swap games with friends will sound like a fairy tale by then. Same with stories of how I could take the console and a bunch of games with us to the cottage and play 4 player local co-op all night at no extra cost.
