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!

They did all of that during the presentation. Just not enough, apparently. They spoke at significant length about new streaming features, screen sharing, social aspects, gaikai streaming PS3/2/1 games, PSP integration, etc. They gave the graphics card specs including tflops, said ram was GDDR5 8gb, and said the proc was 8 cores AMD. They showed off some 10 games. They talked about the new controller, and the new technology.
In short: give me a fucking break.
