Xbox 720 to not have blu-ray.

honestly I think it would be dumb not to include blu ray. Since it already won. I want it to become the dominat format. I want a bluray burner so I can burn all my anime on one blu ray disk.too_much_eslim

Maybe they could have the system play Blu-Ray movies only, or have it as an add-on.

You would still be collecting games, as well as be able to see them. You just wouldn't be collecting or seeing their cases.

Nope.. You can't see them, no disk, no manual, no box = no sale. If they passed the savings of no manufacturing onto the end-user, maybe. But they won't.

The disk, the manual and the box don't make the game. The actual data does, may it be distributed via digital distribution or a disk.

Its part of the package. If they are going to cheap out on DD, they can lower the price.

Blu-ray means data can be uncompressed on the disk pottintially freeing the CPU up a bit so you can get better games/higher framerates. Technically you could fit Killzone 2 on a DVD but you'ld have to uncompress the data whilst it was running or uncrompress it and save it to a hard drive which is basically installing.markop2003

My original argument never was about price so you arguing against me is kind of out of place. :P

You said the disk, box or manual don't make the game, well I don't agree. They are part of the package. I would only agree to such a scheme if the prices were lowered, and I know im not the only one.

I dont think that makes sence..

People will still buy discs.. and when the next gen comes games will get better looking, meaning more disc space is almost certainly required.

I said this already, I know what I typed was larger then one paragraph, but I'm sure if you all muster up the strength you can complete it. Read the thread before you post.

Yeah, cause you where 100% original aswell...

So you don't only dislike digital distribution with games, but with anything, right? Movies? Music? Internet security suites?

Music and movies, i feel pretty much the same. With those, with legal DD, you are generally getting inferior quality compared to a retail cd/dvd. Regular computer software I don't buy much of. Generally I try to use free software where available.
