Imagining The PS4

[sevin0seven]

A look forward to a future where we will be able to play video games just by taking a simple pill.

this reminds me of the matrix. will it be the blue pill or the red pill?

The PS3 came with many features out of the box, like an high-def drive, wireless controller, and a hard drive, that drove the Xbox 360 to a comparable price if you included them all as accessories

I didn't know my PS3 had an high-def drive!

Once things get to the point where everything is a download from the internet as opposed to a physical object (such as a disk, cartridge, etc.), I'll be a retro gamer for good. It is complete bullshit for game companies to go all digital, just to save money.

I just hope at some point, the disc media for video games is over with. I want something cheaper, unscratchable, and less loading time in games but still a physical object.

What if they used cases similar to what the PSP UMD's use? Won't help with the loading times but installing the game to the hard drive should help with that anyway.

Discs cost literally pennies to manufacture, I don't think we'll find anything cheaper anytime soon.

Oh, well by cheaper I meant cheaper for us to buy. Like 30$ games instead of 70$ games

That could be okay

yeah, I figured, but just pointing out that a game's high price has little at all to do with the cost of manufacturing them.

Yep, the high game costs are 100% attributable to the High Definition graphics that todays gamers demand. The discs themselves are no more expensive to make than a hand full of AOL samplers.
