Next Xbox - No Disc Drive?

[Proton]

How do they expect to even succeed with this thing if there is not going to be a disc drive at all?

Yeah, what the fuck are they thinking.

Making your media distributed digitally would never succeed.


I mean, no one could ever even find an example of that succeeding once.

Like any other type of media would ever do this.
Unthinkable

Yes, because apparently completely relying on a digital service is a perfect idea.

After all, it's not like buying a used game is exactly like piracy. Or is it going to even remotely affect the sales of one console. Hell, even limiting your games by how many hard drives you own is a good idea.

No, the reason why I'm saying this is stupid is because complete digital distribution is going to do more harm than it would do good. Did you even read the article or original post for this?

Believe me, if I didn't read the thing,
I'd probably have the same overreacting opinion you have about a viable form of distribution that has only worked for every single media distribution service out there.



And it's no surprise that it's time discs take a fucking hike.
They were never as reliable as cartridges were.



Maybe read it again.

Like this part of the article:

Although the console will not include a disc drive, it will offer compatibility with some sort of interchangeable solid-state card storage, although it is not known whether this will be proprietary or a more standard format such as SD.

The whole,

this would be like the PSP Vita, which actually has a great idea of choice between digital and physical?
