Personally i think it would be better to just advance solid state storage technology and distribute everything on that, It's cheaper/way less complicated/more compact/less mechanical so less things to break/faster/etc etc.
I mean imagine if movies just came on SD Card type things that had a super fast read spead and a super high capacity.
Maybe its just me but it seems way easier and better to do (im not too sure how anti-copy protection would work though)
oh my god, thank you, iv been saying that for a while, put programs, movies, and yes il say it videogames on solid state, im sick of loading screens, that and then maybe we can use the actual game cartridge to save. what a novel idea instead of paying $30 for a memory card to save, does anyone remember this concept from say the super nintendo, i just read about the release of the 64gb SSD with SATA connectors, its not long before they close in on the 200gb, 300gb, 500gb, and 1TB mark just like regular drives now

Um, no it's not cheaper. Thats why we moved away from solid state and to optical in the first place.
