The rumors that I've seen suggest that they will support optical disks with an emphasis on on-demand downloads.
A disk is a lot cheaper to stamp and print than flash or some type of ROM would be.
- CraigRood 15y agoDisk drives are dirt cheap, and a single blu ray can hold 25+ GB of data. Try putting that down a 1mb home connection.
- jessriedel 15y agoDisks are cheap, but disk drives are ~$80. (Consoles are sold at a loss, so this comes directly out of profits.) I don't know how big PS4 games will be, but flash storage could cost 25 cents per GB. But yea, I think you're right that the optical disks will still end up being cheaper.
