Cartridges are more advanced and cheap now than ever, they must come back.

Did you ever think 20 years ago that this would be the prevailing thought on physical game media? I sure didn't.

Will we see Blu-Rays in the future the same way we see vinyl discs now? Only time will tell.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

As much as I'd like to see this, it might not be economically feasible to include both a cartridge slot and an optical media reader for Blu-ray and DVDs. Now don't get me wrong. I don't have to play my Blu-rays on a consoles when not given a choice. But I think the masses are more accustomed to having a multi-purpose device.

I still prefer physical but that hasn't held me back. I've picked up digital games when the price has been cheap on a sale. Also, plenty of GWG titles. (doesn't really apply here)

My problem is the pricing. The devs and console manufacturers are cutting out retail and shipping here. Pass on the savings and make it cheaper for the consumers too... You douche bags.

Id actually support that. Bring back cartridges :)

I would too. At this point they are the better option for media storage.

What the heck?! How long has it been that way? If it takes a long time to install the game even with the CD, it seems to defeat the purpose of even buying it physical. If it was like that with say, the Wii U, I would have gone digi long ago...

On the collection arguement thing though, I do keep whatever games I buy. I don't sell them back.
