Moore Calls Game Discs Ridiculous

Gamespot reports on a Churchill Club panel discussion attended by a number of industry heavyweights. They discussed, heavily, the future of gaming online and what it means for the industry as a whole. From the article: "[MS VP Peter] Moore said that the retail landscape is set to undergo a particularly drastic change of face. Even though he made a point that the current retail model was hugely important to Microsoft's plans for the near future, he sees its days as numbered. 'Let's be fair. Whether it's five, 10, 15, 20 years from now, the concept of driving to the store to buy a plastic disc with data on it and driving back and popping it in the drive will be ridiculous,' Moore said. 'We'll tell our grandchildren that and they'll laugh at us.'"

As Rodney King said "can't we all just get along"?

Rodney King? You mean, that guy who was driving at around 115 MpH (185Km/h) while intoxicated, resisted arrest, attacked a policeman, and had to be knocked down? That guy who, since then, was repeatedly arrested for drug infractions, spousal abuse, soliciting a prostitute, and motoring offenses? That guy who received $3.8 million in a civil suit against the LAPD, but somehow managed to go bankrupt, and now lives in a drug rehab center?
