PlayStation 4 To Be Neutered, Rendered Disc-Less

The PlayStation 3 isn't out yet, but that doesn't stop Sony's Phil Harrison from making wild speculations about the capability of Playstation 4. According to him, the PS4 won't support physical discs. At all. He opines:

I'd be amazed if the PlayStation 4 has a physical disc drive.
So you mean in 5-10 years, our home's series of tubes/big trucks/broadband connections will be fat enough to download a 50GB game in a decent amount of time? We sure hope so.

But wait, Phil! You mean those precious Blu-ray discs that your company's humping so hard is going to be gone by the time PS4 is out? Oh wait, Kotaku's Ashcraft already beat me to that joke/conclusion. Damn you Ash! Damn you and your 16-hour head start.

:rolleyes: Why do people always think 1 step ahead? The PS3 isn't even out yet and already we've got PS4 rumours.

I was kind of thinking that the next gen consoles would have all of their games distrubeted over the net, it makes since as long they have a way to protect against piracy.

My Playstation 5 is great. It handles all the household chores I'm to tired to do after a long day at the office. It walks my dog, makes my dinner, does my taxes and pleasures my wife. The games don't come in a disc format at all but in a tube containg a liquid which stores 1,000 GBs.
