If they hadn't started this silly game, 128GB would cost as much as 32GB in 2009 and 64GB would be the low end.

Yes, and the big companies shamelessly admit it's their goal to simplify it all until they'll be the only providers of content.

The same cultural future as the drivel being written on most of Facebook. Sad alright!
