I think we should look at how other software are handled. Windows OS software can't be resold. Also virus software can't be sold either. I would love to sell some of my digitally owned games but implementing a process can be complicated.
Remember the days when everyone kept saying that bluray is not necessary because digital download will be the future?? well guess what until everyone that owns a game console has fast internet connection then we can all look forward to digital download only. Until then, bluray is the only way to go if we dont want to run into this kind of situation. Games are just going to get bigger and bigger as developers continue to improve and use the full potential of the current gen consoles and future...
The only way GTAV will be on one disk is if you have it digitally downloaded or you have the game partially on one disc and the rest downloaded. Stuff like audio, texture, etc... Open world game can be very massive in data. For it to be on a DVD disc, you going have to compress that thing to the max. Even if you can the performance of the game may suffer.

Actually if you check the landfill there are more Xbox360 in the landfill due to the RROD then the so call "garbage" from the far east. Seriously go check...I'm not lying. if you looked closely you could probably find 2 of my old xbox 360's somewhere in there.
I own both consoles, but to call the console from the far east "garbage" is being short sighted and just fanboyism.
Swapping disk is not a big deal same goes with installing ...
50$ a month for 2 years. Comes to a total of $1200 for a console. Yes it makes a lot of sense. The difference between mobile and consoles is because mobile requires a data plan in order to access internet where wifi is not available. Consoles are home devices and can access internet if you have internet. That is the reason why you can buy you vita the way you did. Xbox went this similar route which I dunno anyone in there right mind would do.
That might be true... but games like resident evil 4, street fighter 4, monster hunter 4, persona 4, final fantasy 4, etc... all have the number 4 in it.
I have a wii U and to me its very gimmicky. I feel like the Tablet portion of the game was forced into some of the games with out any real thoughts put into it. Tablet was great for Zombie U but super mario it was really really difficult to coordinate with the person you are playing with.
@MCstorm
I think its not the tablet that people care about. Its what the Wii U can offer in performance wise when the PS4 and Xbox720 are release. How can developers make games for the PS4 and Xbox720 and try to port to a Wii U which will be inferior spec wise? Developers been asking for a more powerful machine for the last 2 years and Nintendo knew that but they decided to release a console that is in par with current gen. The only choice they have is to develope the games on the Wii...
I always knew that the Vita is a powerful machine. But the graphics on this game is redonkulous. I have never seen graphics like this on a handheld before. Why cant all developers do this. Imagine what COD and Resistence could of looked like? Such a shame.
Remember.. most of the games offer for free are old games that are not selling in retail stores. This is just speculation. Sony charges $50 for PS plus subscription. They offer Gravity rush for free. So for every gravity rush game downloaded, they have to give the developers a share. Let say that share is about 15% (because there no need for packaging fee and advertisement fee of the 50 of the subscription fee. You have to remember that developers will paying Sony to have their games on the P...
@gribbleGrunger
Backward compatibility may not be available for disc base games but for digital download it is a very high possibility. Remember, the aquisition of Gaikai will play a big part in PS4 PS plus offering. Imagine what Sony can do with the possibilities. Sony can allow all PS Plus member stream free game from Gaikai, but im pretty sure the subscription fee for the PS plus probably increase. But if i get to stream games from gaikai and still get the PS plus perks of free gam...
You think gow 3 will come to ps+ before ascension is released?
@hazard
Have you ever stop paying for live?? If you haven't try it sometime and see what happen. I guarantee you that netflix account you have on your xbox is worthless. It's funny when you stop paying for live all your multiplayer games suddenly become single campaign games. Does that happen to anyone? I noticed twice already when I forgot to resubscribe live. It's a glitch I think xbox need to fix.
But psn is free and offers everything gold offer minus the party chat. It's psn plus that cost money and it comes will load of free games.
Copy? Name me one thing that ps3 copied the Xbox 360?
1. Ps3 had wifi at launch built in. Xbox didn't you have to buy it.
2. Ps3 you could upgrade with any compatible hardrive at launch. Xbox you have to buy microsoft hard drives.
3. Ps3 you can use third party peripherials. Xbox you have to use licensed peripherials.
4. Ps3 had bluray. Xbox had DVD.
5. Ps3 had hdmi at launch. Xbox don't.
6. Ps3 was more powerful then the Xbox.

I hated PSABR... not because the game suck... it just because i suck. I play against my wife and she knows my weaknesses in that game. She would pick the same character as me because she knows that i lose track of my player very easily. I swear to god for a whole match i thought i was beating up on her until at the end of the game I found out I had only 1 kill and 6 deaths. Im a Scientist and in my line of work i need to be coordinated but when it comes to gaming I really really suck. When i ...
History shown us that Sony always come back strong. Right now I'm holding onto my PS vita and being patient like when the PS3 first was launch. I was patient and now I feel like i've been rewarded with great games. I just hope this is the case with the Vita. Im really cant wait what announcement they will make in Playstation destination.
I totally agree with you 100% as well. But One thing that really bothered me though. I understand PS vita games takes longer to de...
I agree with you. But the problem is that Remote play is more of the developer isnt it? I thought the developers need to implement it. The only remote playable games so far are all owned by sony and they were HD remakes and re-releases. The lack of user base for the Vita is causing developers to think twice if they want to spend more resources for a patch that people will not pay for. Sony didnt think about this i guess. If i was a developer I dont think i will allocate time into making a pat...
Kingofwii kept saying that Sony fan boys are grown men who act like 14 years old and yet he bitching and pouting like a 12 year old girl. Need i remind you that most Nintendo Wii owner are actually kids ages 8-15. Their parents bought the wii for them to shut them up so the parents can keep the house clean or finish their work? Why do you think when the Wii U was released the sale numbers did not translate from the amount of Wii sales? With over 100 million wii sold you would think that at le...
The last time I played a game that scared the pudding into my pants was the original Resident evil. Come in second was the first silent hill and Alan wake. Then after that most of the horror game became more action oriented then focusing on scaring players. But I feel this game will somehow bring that back. I want to play a game where as a player I feel vulnerable and have to think twice before jumping into action or opening certain doors.
I remember playing Resident Evil, every door ...
