Good idea for a handheld... Just a shame AMD doesn't have any viable hand-held mobile technology to make such a thing feasible.

It would be the whole xbox one launch again haha with people just making fun of it all on the internet and news, this generation it was the whole no used discs, the whole new title of the news would be, no discs at all, no second hand, no lending and sharing with your friends, can you imagine the uproar? |
I have hundreds of digital games... And there are others who likely fall into the same camp.
A digital only device isn't the end of the world for some.
More options for consumers isn't always a bad thing.
Microsoft could in theory pull an Xbox 360 and release an optional Blu-Ray drive attachment, that way they are profiting from the disc drive for those who want the cheaper console.

How does FLOPS relate to costs?
We don't have any real info on any other component to ascertain real costs anyway... We don't know if the CPU's have been bastardized with reduced/removed caches for example.
A 4k Blu-Ray Drive shouldn't be more expensive than a non-4k drive, it's just additional read layers... In-fact many PC OEM Blu-Ray drives just needed a firmware update to enable support for BDXL format discs for free.
