From a cost stand point solid state hard drives and memory sticks is not economical at all for a gaming system (unless you feel like spending well over a grand on a new gaming system and $150-$200 for a game) and with higher capacity Blue-ray disks (as much as 400 gigs) in the works, become even less so. Sorry but this "old tech" has the "new tech" beat until the costs come WAY down which probably won't happen till it's time for the PS4 to go into production and most definitely will not happen in time for the next Xbox.
While I do agree that solid state is the future, it's not the immediate future. |
Prices will come down on this new invention when blue ray came out (only a couple of years ago)the players were 2000$ now you can buy one for 199.00 and next year they will be 99.00 and so on ,by the time the NEW XBOX 720 comes out it should have solid state ready to go at a cheap price and kill the PS3 or PS4 , then blue ray disks will be used as WIND CHIME'S
