And yet, I still won't buy a console without a drive. MS and Sony can fuck off if they think I'll buy a console from them without a disc drive. I'd much sooner buy from Gabe, who is a DRM whore, but at least has open hardware

    I don't use steam, but I did a quick search and I don't see many articles of them removing a game you've paid for from your library without giving you a refund. Even then you can add games not paid for on steam, into steam so I'm not sure your point. You can add a disk game into steam.

    Yup, the lesser of three evils though. I probably won't buy any of the next gen at this stage though. Can't see any game on the horizon being worth an upgrade

    Mass Effect 5 though...
