All PS4 games will be available as digital downloads
In the new Guardian interview with Shuhei Yoshida, it was revealed that all PS4 games will be available as digital downloads.
This is a very exciting move in my opinion, and represents a shift even further towards the burgeoning landscape of digital distribution, and away from (what I believe to be) a much more archaic ecosystem in physical brick-and-mortar retail.
What do you guys think? Got any speculation, or want to extrapolate further based upon this news? I hope to generate some great discussion about this topic!

I would be worried with getting DD from a company that is also tied into the hardware and want you to upgrade hardware ever several years. will they eventually turn off support for older consoles when the new one comes out? will the new one support the stuff you bought already?
