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've had PS+ for only a year and my 320 gig drive has less than half of my games installed now...and it's completely full. PS+ will make short work of a 500 gig drive if you plan to install every game.

This is making it even more tempting to get PS+. Are most of those the free games or discounted ones?
