I've wanted this for so long. They need to add a 3 or 5 disc changer. It would be so cool to be able to switch between games/movies without having to get up. Anyone have any objections to this?

Disk changers are kinda bulky from what I remember. It would be cool, but just an unnecessary extra cost.

I don't want to pay an extra $10 when I can just get off my ass and walk up to the console to change discs.

Or it could just let you install to the HDD and put the disc away forever. But that would allow you to share games with friends.

Ugalde-

I have many objections to this.

More mechanical parts/guts = much more that can go wrong thus higher failure rates

Also disc changer = more expensive. So yeah, a more expensive, less reliable console, I'm sure that will go down well

It would be nice I guess, but it isn't really needed.

Ugalde-

Typically, the reliability of disc changers is pretty low and often lead to them breaking (unless they have changed dramatically over the past several years). I think going digital would be a better solution anyways. I vote flash cards be used since higher capacities are now becoming more frequent and the cost is going down. They are very reliable, durable, and can lead to faster loading times.

Also, a disc changer would mean a bulkier console, which is generally not preferred.

Wouldn't that make a console too big?

No it would be just one more thing that could break.

The next group of consoles need to let me be able to purchase videogames through DD on day one. I don't care for boxes.

Disc changer, or having 3,000 titles just a click of a button away.

Hmmm, which would I rather have

A disc changer.

And who allows streaming unlimited movies and tv shows through your PC or game console?

.....

Ok maybe you won't get that unless you've heard the radio ads :P
