The Death of disk formats, the return of Cartridges

With all the topics bouncing around about blu-ray winning and HD-DVD losing I have not sen anyone talk about what really matters in Disk formats.....

LOADING....

So fr the bigger disk storage we have the longer loading time. and I hear people speaking about the END OF BLU-RAY being ANOTHER DISK FORMAT.

The solid state cartridges will return, I have seen 8gb flash drives going for $29, and I can see 100gb drives for low cost not to far off.

Seeing how solid state drives have no loading time, I believe cartridges will return to be the main format of storing games (supposing they aren't down-loadable content)

Even if they are, a HDD will also have loading time, and I believe Hard drives will become SSD

The Disk era is coming to an end.

Cartridges is not the solution..

Install for all games is.. Im afraid.

An 8 gig falsh drive is $29...but you are paying for an EMPTY medium. An empty CD or DVD by comparison costs only pennies.

What you fail to take into account is that, even with games costing $50 - $60, some developers still lose money. If you were to put those games onto a 8 gig flash drive, you would have to pay $79 - $89 for a game. More if the game requires more than 8 gig of storage space.

That is why we left carts in the first place. It had nothing to do with space; they just made games cost too much.

Which made third party support virtually non-existant.
