Whatever the future hold for gaming, I have one important suggestion to give to the gaming industry.
While optical discs store a large amount of data, and are suitable for gaming, they fall short of one thing - durability.
Optical discs (CDs, DVDs) can be ruined through a single scratch, wasting someone's hard earned money. My suggestion is to use some kind of protection for optical discs. Here is how it can be done -
Specially designed transparent and light plastic cases might be designed to envelope the disc, so it can be made safe of scratches. Any damages would hurt the plastic cover, and when it becomes unfit, it can be detached and a new one can be put into use. It is a simple idea, but somebody who really matters should ponder about it.

It's not a bad idea actually, for an extra £1 or something (they shouldn't make it too expencive) games could be made to last longer.
I like the idea.

Theoritically, this is the best option one can have. But practically, it would be very expensive, you know it too. You could buy 10 original copies of the game in DVDs for 1 Diamond Disc.

Good thought. The games actually cost very less to mass-produce. To replicate cds, it is just 0.5 pounds, with casing etc. it can be around 2 pounds. Its what content license that costs too much. Dont know about DVDs though.
Thanks for giving me the credit. "inspired by Dharav", really liked to read it. Tell you what Max Powers, helping you in the games-girls' poem was relly cool for me. She was not at all trying to understand what I was saying in my threads, and just pin pointing my typos.

Make the games out of diamond = no scracthes (unless you have sharp diamonds lying around the place)

Its an allright idea but I would think in the future they would modify the inside of the console so that it would be scratch proof and then sell it in cases. I can see it happening in the near future though heres a snapshot from my imagination.
Currys mega sale!
(woman on the currys adverts explains it)
Sony PS3 with 5 games 2controllers and a memory card for only £100 buy in the next week and get the new protection cases inspired by Dharav and produced by ukchatforums your PS3 games will never get scratched again!
(woman stops talking)
"Currys allways cutting prices"
(Linda barker walks along with scissors accedently cuts someones orchestras off)
The sony PS3 would cost like that in my ideal world because it only costs like £5 to make the games. After reasearch that is
