and here i thought this was about that Kaplan Perry or whatever her name is from NoA.
My dad keeps saying the same thing. Says all content will be downloadable to a home entertainment box through the internet and will replace every entertainment device ever.
My dad also got upset at my little brothers for calling some Japanese guy on TV "Asian" instead of a "Chinaman."
They probably won't.Quote:

Less loading times, less having to design the game around slow-ass physical media drives that are hundreds of times slower than hard drives. Download speeds are getting faster every day, and with a "preload" system like Steam it won't even be that big a deal. Perhaps best of all for guys like this, a game will never be "rare" - tomorrow's Radiant Silvergun or Disgaea will be a download away.
We are at a time where it was like 1991 or 1992, where even though CD-ROM media was being ineptly used in a lot of ways, the writing was on the wall. We all knew cartridges were going to end up in the dust bin of history. So it is with physical media drives.
