Not only is there a DRM war, but there is a broadband war too. Truthfully, I want to see ALL media done away with. No Blu-Ray and no cartridge. I want streaming media and games that can be downloaded directly to the console. You can knock out a 1gig torrent at 1.5 MB/s in just a few minutes (>5). And I've seen download speeds of 10 MB/s on my computer depending on the server I download from (not torrents). My point is, we have the capability to stream Blu-Ray and to distribute game files. Hard drive space is in abundance these days and is dirt cheap. So we just need the broadband companies to get their shit together (they won't).  |
The problem with this is broadband still isn't standard in most countries. Hell, its not even standard in the States.
Then you have places like Canada that put bandwidth caps on users, and you begin to see why digital downloads won't take off next generation.
And if you need a more recent example.... find the funeral home of the PSP Go.
And I've got to say, some of you are so boring. Just more power? Really? And then gamers complain when they get the same things over and over again. Alas
