It would make sense - technology is getting cheaper and smaller - read-speed is much faster than disc formats, they'd generate no noise, practially no heat and use much less power. |
Yeah the solid state and flash drives are amazing, but the only probem I can see with them, is that in a few years time (3-4 I'd guess) when the next generation of consoles is released, a Blu-disc capable of holding up to 200 gigs of proven data capacity will be like, 13c to manufacture xD a flash drive capable of holding a game ranging from 7-200 gigs of data that you NEED for a game, will not be that cheap :x They'll probably be used for the storage, but blu-ray was a massive step up for optical media, and as much as I would love the solids to be there, I'm just not sure the cost can be met :( Blu-ray is an ideal solution for physical media.
