Activision has moved to explain the enormous file sizes Call of Duty fans can expect to hit their hard-drives with the launch of Modern Warfare 3 this month.
Now that’s the ultimate end game: Just ship a new console for every new game.
MS, Sony and Nintendo just ship the base motherboard + DRM platform but game devs ship the CPU+GPU appropriate to play the game at 4K30 (obviously with dynamic scaling)
You’re right – end of the title had “16GB”; shouldn’t have just grabbed the first listing on Amazon that came up in a search for 1TB. But there are listings for 1TB flash USB drives between $10 and $20 – you could legitimately ship games on them.
The next Call of Duty will be the price of a console and will come preinstalled on a dedicated hard drive.
Better than buying the disc but still having to download 200gb when you get home.
Those two are not mutually exclusive
You will be shipped MW3 on an M.2 cartridge.
It’ll be it’s own plug in console
