Discs Ain't Dead Yet, Dude

Listen to this: Sony exec says discs still have some gas left. Good! Because last we heard, company brass said we wouldn't be using them for our PS4s, but w/e. Sony UK's Ray Maguire says there are "many" years left for the format as games get bigger in size. Maguire enlightens:

What I think will happen is there will be a retail delivery model and then there'll be a supplementary business—which is downloading extra bits and pieces to keep your experience alive, keep it fresh and keep it modified and keep the game going on.

Format wars aside, I personally like discs—buying them, unwrapping them for the first time and stacking them on my shelf. Silly, sure, but I can't be alone, can I?
