Its incredibly niave to think it costs Sony, co-developer of blu-ray, $10 to press a game onto a blu-ray disc. Its probably costs a dollar or less to manufacturer a disc by bow. They can sell blurray movies for $9.99 and still profit.

It will definitely be cheaper for Sony to stick with optical discs next gen if they don't drop the drive entirely.

It's also dumb to expect they'll be paying retail for microsd or whatever usb flash sticks they decive to use.
