  Does anybody remember a decade ago when it leaked Microsoft has some concepts about restrictions on discs (used/shared), everyone gasped, Sony mocked them in a video about “sharing discs” on PS4 and became a turning point in the console wars?

  Even a decade later: Remove discs at your peril! Half the reason I’ve even bought consoles is for Blu-ray movies (unbeatable AV quality). Sony won the fucking console and disc drive wars and it was still not enough.

    Generally, I find that the discs often little more than licenses and require the actual have to be downloaded.

  Yeah, but how long until it doesn’t come with a power brick, and you have to supply your own?

    I mean, if it has USB PD, that could be a not so unreasonable thing. That is, supposing USB PD supplies as outlets become common.

      I was interested to know if that could work, supply wise.

      According to these articles, the series x and the 5 pro aim to draw around 200W in-game.

      USB-PD 3.1 (honestly, fuck the USB naming standard, seriously.) can allow for 240W draw.

      So, kinda yeah?

        Yeah. It’s crazy to think that USB can now handle 240W. And yes, the naming conventions are terribad but, at least the standards are actually open, unlike VESA’s.
