[DunDunDunpachi]

I heard AMD was working with Sony to make a super fast SSD SANTAIII drive. NeoGAF Believe.

I want my PS5 games read with Alien "Beam me up Scotty" Star Trek technology.

 

[Afro Republican]

HD DVD. If we also read the disc with a laser then the speed triples.

SANTAIII did not exist along time ago in a galaxy far far away

[Virex]

I'm getting the LaserDisc version.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

I would prefer that games come on a microchip.

And then with microchip on the tip of a finger

Insert finger into my bum

Game saves locally and also via the cloud

 

[theHFIC]

THE DRM CHECKS!!!! DIGITAL SPONSORED TOOLS THAT DOWNGRADE THE BLURAY!!!

Pfft, go vinyl you square.

Make sure the codec is removed though or there will be HDR lag.

Speaking of optical. I still use an optical cable for my surround sound system with PS4. Am I dumb hoping I can do this with PS5?

Wouldn't running it through the tv be the same?

I'd be kind of surprised if ps5 didn't have optical out.

 

[JimiNutz]

I'm thinking about going all digital next gen but that means I will def buy less games day one. If I buy anything day one it'll be physical and then I'll trade it in at a later date unless it's a masterpiece.

BluRay isn't dead,

Always aliens, my friend, always

 

[synchronicity]

I voted blu-ray again, but that tape technology is impressive. We could go back to an era where we play our game "tapes".

 

[TeamGhobad]

im thinking lockhart might not have an optical drive

 

[lachesis]

No cartridge option? I like collecting all sorts of different cartridges.

 

[Insane Metal]

Aliens it is, then.

 

[shark sandwich]

I prefer to buy digital download codes from GameStop.

 

[Celcius]

I'm not too sure about Santa, he only travels once a year lol

 

[Jigsaah]

Erm...SSD i guess? I'm conceding to digital next gen...or continuing to do so...because I ain't got time to be switching out no discs. Is the tape thing even a possibility?

 

[SonGoku]

Poll is lacking the Advanced Digital Disc option, which has a faster transfer rate, can load in seconds, can download in real-time, and can be sued as temporary memory or Vram storage in real-time

 

[Ixiah]

What about Cartridges ?

 

[Mr Nash]

If ever there was a time to bring back 5.5 inch floppies, it's now.

 

[kraspkibble]

i hope Sony release a version with no optical drive like Microsoft has just done. i've not used a disc drive since i owned a PS3 in 2013 lol.

i'd rather go all digital. physical media needs to die but oh no you get people stuck in the past crying and moaning. jeez.

 

[Boss Mog]

Why do so many people think that games on disc are read from the disc? This just ins't the case anymore. Games on disc are fully installed to the hard drive on PS4.

 

[Liftplus]

Im hoping for new alien tech but... i bet theyll just throw in blu-ray.

 

[metareferential]

It will be bluray, together with mandatory installs and BIG dayone patches.

You guys are still high from the Cerny interview. But remember it's the game industry.

Voting aliens, though.

 

[Jagz]

Physical media for games is on the way out, regardless. The general consensus is that PS6 will be all digital.

 

[Daymos]

Can't have ps4 backwards compatibility without the blu-ray drive. They aren't dumb enough to say 'digital only BC!' the fanbase would implode into a blackhole created by infinite cynical rants.

 

[Ridaxan]

I really hope there's an option for an optical disk~less version of the PS5 in the future.

ADD... he is trolling alright. Projecting too I reckon.

 

[LucidFeuer]

No thanks. I plan on going 100% physical for next-gen consoles so, NOPE.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

I genuinely wonder what is going to be the average size for games next gen. This gen, I would say it's around 40-50 gigs for a triple A game. Obviously some are more and some are less. But I would say around there.
So maybe 80-90 gigs next gen? That might be tough to go purely digital next gen. With a disc I can atleast delete a game from my SSD and not worry having to redownload all that again.

So its hard to say right now with certainty what I want from the PS5. I would say an optical drive would be ok.

 

[Virex]

I would like a LaserDisc option added to the poll.

 

[base]

SANTAIII SSD? Oh boy. Santa is now funding some real hardware for Sony?

 

[johntown]

I voted for blu ray just because I want the option. Not necessarily for games but for movies. I could care less about a disk speed and loading times. Waiting a few seconds longer is not a huge concern for me.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Those options lined up like that? Give me all of them.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Go magnetic tape!

 

[MightySquirrel]

On topic. Anyone have any good sci fi movies with aliens released lately? I love them

 

[alabtrosMyster]

I picked Aliens - but I would have preferred my data delivered by INTERDIMENSIONAL ALIENS - nobody believes in physical Aliens, this makes no sense ;-)

I liked the Netflix series called Nightfliers (written by George RR Martin) it's a bit cheesy, but it's good to watch.

 

[Texas Pride]

I'm in no hurry to ditch physical for digital and giving corporations all the control over games. They want that no doubt more control and more $$$$$. Trading convenience for ownership is a dead end for the customer.

 

[Shifty]

Magnetic tape drives? Sign me up!

We back to the good old days of having to rewind videogames before they can be loaded.

It's sad because most gamer's aren't paying this the attention it needs.
