Playstation 5 set to use Cartidges to eliminate hard drive use and loading

[Doctor Wily]

If the system is bc, how?

Gonna have a CD and cartridge drive?

Hmmmmm

I believe the digital downloads will be BC not the physical ones., whichever games you own throughout the entire psn library

No source but just a hope that would be the direction they'd go in.

That would be the only reason to buy a physical copy, since you wouldn't long downloads for install

I mean the only advantages disc had over cartridges back in the day were the FMV movies and the fact disc are cheap to produce

 

[Jacaveli The Don]

instead of cartridges they should us mini usb flash drives

Bro, thats an even worst idea than cartridges lol

I would hold off on the PS5 for a year if I got the Pro so they could work all of the kinks out with it.

I got my PS4 with the Arkham Knight bundle back in 2015, so I’m about due for an upgrade.

I got that bundle for my lil bro back in 2015. It’s a beautiful system...but thing sounds like a fukking airplane taking off now.

It’s loud as hell. I feel it’s about to go out at any moment now with how loud it gets. That’s why I’m trying upgrade before it happens.

Amazon is going to have a pro bundle for $300, so I’m going to see if I can get it on BF.

There's articles out there speculating that it could be an external ssd. Would be cool and makes alot more sense.

Means nada to me since I'll be all digital

Same. After adding an additional 2TB to the ps4, I’ve never copped another physical disc.

Bu bu bu bu dematerialization is the future

I'm genuinely intrigued what a decision like this would mean for the industry of producing blu-rays. Everybody setting up their own streaming services, video games possibly going back to cartridges, that shyt would throw the whole industry for a loop.

optical media is still cheaper

They confirmed the PS5 will use 100gb BDs and have a UHD drive.

The cartridge like device is some type of internal memory

This

If it's true that Sony is developing some new type of ssd for the ps5 like the speculations say, then it would make sense for them to have their own proprietary SSD.

The cartridges were for this thing not a PS5.
