so about the ps4...dont quite get it. When we want to purchase new games

when it comes out, do we need to go to the store and physically purchase the disc, or are games only downloadable?

There will still be physical copies of most games, but not all. All games will be up for download. Already on PS3 there are games you can only get by download... like Dust 514, Crysis 1, Dead Nation... and many more.

Consoles aren't nearly ready to go full-digital yet. Though I'm quite sure every game will also be available digitally, but that's pretty much the case already with console games.SoNin360

If Sony really wants to push DD, they should try to follow the Steam model of offering deeper discounts. Make it so those with PS+ get a discount.

It's not that the consoles aren't ready, it's the general public that's not ready because of the Comcast,Verizon B.S!!!!

You know as well as I do that MS and Sony would love to go all digital so they could really stick it to us!!:|

If Microsoft and Sony are in talks to make it to where every game is only fully downloadable then maybe it is time for the gaming stores to get with the digital age and find a way to make it to where people can somehow trade their games digitally without fear of buying a game and not liking it. Unfortunately, companies like GameFly would go out of business within time because of the lack of new available games. Sad.

Downloadable only. The disc drive is solely for aesthetic purposes.Senor_Kami

This. I'm stuck with ATT DSL where I live and have a 150 gb cap per month. Downloading full games quickly eats into that, as does watching HD videos. Digital really can't take off until these restrictions get removed.
