Maybe the arguments for cloud gaming is right. 10-30 years from now everything will be digitally distributed and/or sent via video stream. Maybe ISP's will cater for this in the future, and probably the digital networks of the world will be 100,000,000x better than they are today. And maybe I will accept it when it all happens. Probably by then I will have grown out of computer gaming and would not need to complain about "the good old days" LOL. Who knows. I was mainly disgruntled by the way BBC Click reported "this could be the end of consoles as we know it". Cloud gaming has a long way to go until then.
What also sparked me starting this thread is the fact that a few months back my Xbox 360 console was destroyed and my insurance wouldn't cover it. I decided I wasn't going to buy another one and save up for a PS3 instead. So I sold my Xbox games and figured; what about the hundreds of pounds I spent on DLC and full games over the years.... I can't resell it, I don't even own it. I just feel its a waste that I don't have the physical media, free to do almost whatever I want to do with it.
I wonder when the next console generation will start..... seeing that we had a global economic recession over the last 4 years.... generally next gen consoles are out every 5 years. 2012 maybe? or later. I wonder.... will microsoft do get another head start or will it be sony's turn again?
