  1. Hard copy discs are going the way of the dinosaur faster than any other outdated technology has turned over in the past. With the abilitiy to quite easily add terrabytes to a console HD then why in the world would I ever purchase a disc again? I've had my fill of losing discs whether they were destroyed, lost, borrowed, or straight up stolen. Furthermore, if you think about the main issue with a console it has always been disc reading errors since the days you had to slap and blow into NES cartridges. The simple wear and tear on a consoles disc drive is the number one factor in it's over-all durability. Even recently I've replaced 360's and Ps3 because they stopped reading discs.

    Sorry about your issues, but I personally have never had any major hardware problems on any game console or handheld.* So my question would be, why fix what isn't broken?

    *I have had minor problems, such as the occasional glitch that required the restart of my machine, but they were very few and far between. Actually I could say "are" because I can still play my older games as reliably as my newer ones.

    Besides that, after reading about 1984 on Kindle, I've always had this nagging suspicion that I probably shouldn't spend big bucks on media that is purely digital. >.>

  2. Problem. The new consoles, including the new Xbox may not give you the ability to play Used Games. They didn't announce anything about it yesterday so either the rumor of the new systems rendering used games useless were false or it will be announced at a later date.

    Yeah, those rumors have not escaped me. If that's what they do then I will simply not buy the ps4. I can spend my 8,000 dollars and firstborn child elsewhere.

  3. The cost of games is certainly something to think about. The cost of the console is too, but I haven't read the links yet so maybe it's there.

    However, I am one of those people that Sony hates waits for the price to down and/or buys used games so my concern is the amont of time I'll have to wait.
