Link: Inside the PlayStation 4 With Mark Cerny What I wonder is how this will change game design for the beginning of games since I assume there is a size limit to ensure this works. Sounds like essentially, the PlayGo system they use for playing digital games while downloading is being used for disc based games as well.

This was discussed by Cerny in a Gamasutra article a while ago (very interesting article, should give it a full read). It's just a difficult position to put themselves in, especially considering how Sony has now doubled down on sticking to what people are used to. And if Microsoft can actually find a way to manage it well, they could turn around a bad situation. Eventually, console games will be all digital, and we'll have to address these issues. Steam was sort of that way out of the gate, as well, though so, Microsoft could certainly learn what they need to do. Gamers don't yet trust that their games will be playable well into the future, they aren't sure if it will work well, they don't see the advantages for them, and they don't see a clear vision of sales and dynamic pricing that could make an all digital future more appealing. Xbox One is certainly moving toward the eventual all digital future, but then, it has none of the details in place for building trust. Steam got a lot of backlash at first, as well, but they gained trust through their consistency, ease of use, convenience, and pricing. That's really where pegging down the details makes such a difference. I haven't played shooters much since the first Black Ops, so I can go for some blowing up stuff.Destiny + and BF4 I guess. And I will probably get a few MP-shooters and such digitally.
I have a circle of friends invested into the PS ecosystem and we coordinate purchases, so we can easily swap. I will probably buy the story focused single-player games on disc.
