Not gonna happen. With the size of games, 30 - 40gb of space if they use that on Blu Ray would take a while to download. I would rather go to the store and buy it.Vasichko

Yeah, it doesn't seem like it'd be a good idea. But then, who knows what'll happen a few years from now.

I'm still not sure that's what they mean though. Network based seems like a term for MMOs only, which is literally the WORST IDEA in the world.

I recently read this article:

http://www.smarthouse.com.au/Media_Centres/Industry/R8W6V6L6

Obviously saying it's 18 months away seems like a bit of an exaggeration, and making a reference to "Technical advantages of the XBOX 360" makes it pretty clear that the writer is either a very uninformed person or a Microsoft fanboy, but this part here seems pretty reasonable:

"Ken Kutaragi, the retiring chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment said in an interview last week that he clearly understands how the PlayStation game consoles should evolve in the next three generations, or fifteen to twenty years from now. He also said that in future it will be possible to create fully Internet-based game consoles.

'As a matter of course, I have the vision of PlayStation 4, 5 and 6, which will merge into the network,' Mr. Kutaragi said. Earlier this year when Kazuo Hirai became the second president of SCEI and chief operating officer, some analysts said that Sony may not launch yet another game console and the PlayStation 3 may become the last one. On this Mr. Kutaragi, who is also known as "the father of PlayStation", says that future consoles may be network-based, which automatically reduces the cost to build such machines.

'The design concept of the Cell processor is the network processor," Mr. Kutaragi said. "When the PS3 was introduced last year, the network environment was not ready for a net-based game console. Now it has become possible, so why not enter?' "

So cheaper, and network based? Err, I'm sorry for the ignorance but what does Network based mean exactly? Only MMOs?

Are you the same guy who put the wet kitten in microwave?

1. Freedom Fighters (I can't help myself, I've finished it three times and it's still great!)

2. Diablo II

3. Oblivion

4. Giants Kabuto (SEQUEL, PLEASE!)

5. Heavenly Sword (This may be because it was my first console game and I was a bit high from the new type of gameplay, but it still rules)

6. Halo Combat Evolved

7. The Sims II

8. Serious Sam

9. Prince Of Persia Sands Of Time

10. Vice City

How about you?

[QUOTE="xaos"]No it's not!!!!!!domatron23

I disagree with you.

That's not an argument, that's just contradiction!

Anyone not seen the Monty Python sketch?

No it isn't.

I love that sketch.

An argument isn't just saying no it isn't!

(love that sketch too)
