Because consoles like having discs, you can put in movie discs, game discs, what would a console be without a disc drive?

Probably a money thing. Might cost more to make a USB for the specific size game then to have a CD.

Nowadays it is becoming a lot of downloading and no actual physical things

I forgot one could buy physical copies of software. I guess they make sense for computers that are not networked; and they've got to be bought cash. Being anonymous is tough.

Usb's are small, so maybe they're easier to steal?

metalman · 9 years ago

Easier to steal and would probably be easier to bootleg

Exactly that. Anyone will a tiny but of knowledge could just copy the file from the USB and pass it on. Where as one needs certain software to effectively do this with a disk.

Unfortunately its about cost and waste. USB, expensive and if not USB 3.0 or higher, slow as fuck, and USB 3.0 is expensive. DVD/blu-ray disk are cheaper, are manufactured to exact size and can installed faster

Why is that unfortunate?

demon_razgriz · 9 years ago

Cause I like the idea of lil' USB's with all my favourite game's, like a Mass Effect Customised USB

I don't know, it seems like it would be better to have a stack of CD's on a shelf rather than to have a cumbersome pile of flash drives. Seems like a pain in the ass.

demon_razgriz · 9 years ago

Yeah, pain the ass to store, but like, I think it would look cooler when plugged in
