When will consoles finally drop Blu-Ray and just go full digital?

Hopefully not in the near future. A better question is when will developers get their shit together and make physical a convenience again?

Hopefully never

PCbro attitude, why would you want to move to a model where the developers/retailers have 100% control over prices and you cannot monitize anything you no longer own...

Gamesphaggots will defend their greedy launch with no games.

How is that consumer friendly?

Fucking this. They really need to get on good compression and make either faster discs (although that's a bad idea because it'll ruin them quicker or just not work) or get back on small cartridges with 80GB storage. That's the only way it's gonna be convenient.

It's too bad that gamestop is the only game in town and every major publisher hates their guts for no reason other than "stealing muh profits on 'SECOND HAND' sales".

Replace games with console parts
Make them modular
Have ranges of gpus and shit and games that only run on certain setups

in a year or two, probably with the next gen consoles

If the game is 50gb+ and you have to download half of it anyway it will just get dropped

That's the stupidest, least convenient model possible for console gaming. You're forgetting that the point of consoles is simplicity and unified hardware & software library.

No it's convenient because if you wanted you could buy used parts instead of new and theyd be cheaper

Is YOUR gaming console spherical?
Yeah, didn't think so

>>385511135
why do people dislike physical media? it's not like you can't already get all the games you want digitally. some people just prefer to actually own the games and be able to look at them on a shelf.

>>385513904
explain to your basic consumer the concept of different games for different builds and shit. Too complicated for the real driving force behind console sales which can't tell the difference between a Wii and Wii U. Console gaming model is fine as is, well, it could be better with less shit like paid online and such, but it doesn't need to be any more complicated.

as someone from third world country with internet slower than a dead snail, I can say physical releases help out a lot and I hope they won't go away any time soon
