All PlayStation 4 games will be available for download According to Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida, every PlayStation 4 game will be available for digital download.

"PS4 will be similar to PS Vita in that every game will be available as a digital download, and some will also be available as a disc," said the exec.

More importantly, Yoshida says there is the possibility of a subscription service once there is a large enough PS4 library.

"As more and more services and contents become available digitally, we'll have more of an option to create attractive packages. So hypothetically we can look at different models – like a cable TV company. We could have gold, silver or platinum levels of membership, something like that. We can do subscription services when we have more content – especially now that we have the Gaikai technology available. With one subscription you have access to thousands of games – that's our dream."

That is also a bit of bad news Krazydude, those who have bought hundreds of games in the last few years, will have to keep the PS3 sert up alongside the PS4.

^ Yes. Or pay money to Sony to buy those games again so that they can play on their PS4. XBox is looking like a much better option now.

Feck that, even the Wii looks better than that, even the Wii u can play all the Wii games, very customer friendly to include that, not to is just plain greed

Well I think people are going to move to Xbox before they move to Wii. The Will has a different market segment to itself as opposed to the PS3/XBox
