I hate CD's, DVD's, and anything that isn't tape or cart.

I agree carts are the way to go. But if you have to use discs and you are spending $50-60 a game, these are nice.

I'm really sick of hearing that argument that carts are expensive to produce. Again, if publishers would have just suffered through one more generation, the flash storage age would have saved them. You can buy 8GB flash drives for like $12 now. That's a dual layer DVD game right there.

That pretty much sums up what the answer is. I would love to have carts come back, but by the looks of things, we will never see that day.

Yup. Looks like we will have to stick to our handhelds and old retro consoles. Not that we would leave them anyway

Not to mention if you don't have the cases for cart-based games it isn't a big deal. If you don't have the case for a disc, then that thing is almost unavoidably going to get scratches on it. No load times are also beautiful. I was paying Chrono Trigger today for the psx. There are load times as a battle starts, when it ends, whenever you pull up a menu, etc. It drives me nuts.

If/when games go completely digital, I honestly don't know if I'll be buying them. From that point on I'd probably just spend all my money on games I can actually hold in my hands.

Having a physical collection is great too.

One thing I have to say though, powered by this digital revolution, computers are now capable of everything. Transfer and storage of information, utilization of all types of media, entire libraries of music and games at no cost, and anything else. It won't be long before they can make coffee and transform into cars. Or download them.

Yay! I get to use it again!

When the time comes that products are digitized, to be materialized upon purchase, we WILL be able to illegally download cars.

Oh god, it'll be like Tron all over again.

Personally, I've never had a problem with discs, aside from the obvious load-times on poorly optimized games. Then again, I've been rocking out with CDs since the 200 MHz Pentium came out, so I'm used to it. Just like with cassettes you never touch the magnetic tape I'm used to treating my discs with care. Of cousre, when I eventually get kids it might be a different story.

Instead of putting a condom on your games so kids don't scratch them, just put the condom on your dick. It'll solve more problems than just broken dvds.

Hey, don't come in here with logic and whatnot.
