Yeah, because flash media has superior playback capabilities.

By the way, what average consumer would be able to afford that?

>>the best tripfag ever

That's like being a floater in a sea of diarrhea.

FINAL FUCKING DESTINATION

I bought an 8gb flash drive for $20 a few days ago.

Technology is amazing goddamn

Its still a bit pricey, especially from a mass media distribution standpoint. When I last bought a large SD card online, I paid a little less than $2 a gig. The sweet spot right now for hard drives is far below that, as is optical media.

Now, the question of how much storage does the average person really need is a fair one. And I've found myself living quite comfortably within the limits of my netbook with its now more than doubled storage capacity. But then its not my only place for storing things.

4gig flash chips will soon be competitive with DVDs in bulk. That's when we'll really start to see a shift in media distribuion.

Enjoy your $120 Games

I thought 4GB MicroSD cards were amazing.

They're just the size of my goddamn pinky fingernail...

Imagina how small dvd players would be if they used that

>>26286367
Moore's Law. It will have twice the capacity, for half the price, in two years.

>>26286396
They won't be so expensive now.

2GB MicroSD cards can be bought for less than $12 at wholesale prices.

What's the speed of an SD card?

I just fucking got into SDHC, stop adding new technology.

SDXC confirmed for PSP2, another blow to a Sony proprietary format

>>26286449
But couldn't you say the same for disc based media too?

Don't SD cards become useless after enough read/write operations, or am I getting confused with flash drives?

>>26286436
>Imagina how small dvd players would be if they used that

>dvd players

>>26286449
Still not cheap enough. PS4 and Xbox 720 will most likely both use Blu-ray.

I got an external 750 GB hard drive for 119 bucks.

IT'S OVER.

PIRACY IS BOOMING.

We're gonna look back at big ugly CDs and laugh at how we thought they were the future, while we watch full length High Definition movies from DS cartridge sized cards.

>>26286502
SSD drives have a serious problem with that at the moment and the ones that don't are obscenely expensive and the prices aren't dropping faster enough.

Next generation will still have optical media, OP.

>>26286515
I doubt Microsoft is going to use a Sony proprietary format for their console.

>>26286502

100,000 write cycles

infinite read cycles

hey you want this 32GB SDxc card?
*crush

The only reason solid state storage will overtake disc media is the fact each card WILL fail after a certain amount of reads and cards can be designed to be readable only by the first console they encounter. It will destroy the aftermarket, ushering in a new age of gaming.

Enjoy your 100000 reads/writes faggots.

>>26286533
Like those big black frisbees from the 70-ties right?

>>26286515
cool $200 blu-ray drive bro

>>26286502
Only writes, but games will obviously be read only. The big problem is price. It's just too expensive to be used for the next generation of consoles.

>>26286557

>Sony proprietary format
Not a proprietary format, they're not even the major holder in Blu-Ray stock or the leader of the BR consortium (which is most of the industry).

>>26286557
It isn't purely Sony's technology.

After decades of LOADING, I sure hope OP is correct.

>>26286629
BR?

>>26286557
Blu-ray is a Sony format just as much as DVD is. MS will use Blu-ray becaus there won't be any good alternatives to it in 2 years time.

>>26286617
Manufacturing cost for BR drives fell below $100 a long ass time ago, bub.

There's only one thing that keeps the cost that high and that's the diode. That's it.

>>26286557
I bet Microsoft doesn't support S/PDIF either.

Oh wait, lol.

Call me when a 32GB costs a large publishing company maybe $0.02 like disc media is to print once you mass produce it.

For read-only media (movies, games), it's disc based or DRMed to hell and back downloadable (and downloadable is going to hit a wall very quickly with new ISP usage caps). Get used to it.

Blu-ray will never catch on in the first place, Microsoft will use a slightly enhanced DVD format for their next console.

I just think it is too easy to loose those fucking cards. I mean the size of your pinky nail? FFS you can suck that thing up in the vacuum no problem.

>>26286666

gibe money pls

>>26286280
No, xbox3 will only have live marketplace.

>>26286502
it was trolling by harddisk manufactors, i have been using the same flashdrive for 3 years (+-8hour a day) with firefox and other programs installed on it, and it doesn't have any bad blocks.

about time, like every disc I have breaks when I even look at it.

>>26286697
$100 drive + beefier power supply to support the motor VS a flash cartridge over a cheap and fast proprietary modified USB connection
