It seems to me a simple 8GB memory stick can be made real cheap if they started using them for video distribution.
Bingo. They clearly stated that a "new version" would be different. And silicone is small and cheaper. But this is Sony entertainment speaking. Not Sony technology.
IT needs demand greater, faster, more durable capacity. Always has, always will.
For my video needs, an up converted wide screen DVD works just fine. I'm not going to spend hundred$ on BlueRay players let alone the premium on disks.
