[QUOTE="superballs, post: 81152, member: 341"] Nintendo systems used to be diskless. Nice thing about content being on disk is that you are not at the whim of a drm server. What if yoir old consoke's storage medium fries?. I can still replace most of my old disk based games for a very very low price if they are damaged. If I lose a download only game a generation later, how can I ever play it again? Do you trust ms to keep their servers up forever? What about the tradition of gane archiving? What happens to that? What about bringing a game over to a friend's place? Seriously what's more of a pain, bringing a disk with you in a backpack? Or going over and setting up your online account and waiting an hour or two for the game to download ? No! Physical media of some sort should be maintained. I even say a return to cart based games given the advances in flash storage. [/QUOTE]
