xbox360.ign.com — "Blue Dragon ships on three DVDs, making it bigger than any Xbox 360 title to date. According to Sakaguchi, the game required compression technology to fit onto the three disks. In uncompressed form, the game's data takes up over 30 Gigs of space!"

"1. A huge majority of the games will still be single disc?2. Few people will care that those few must-buy multi-disc games are multi-disc? In fact, some will even like the feeling of accomplishment from it?"Why will a huge majority of games be on one disc? Maybe because the devs are not bothered by filling less space and having you pay $60 bucks. Why exert the effort when the gain could be minimal?I can't even begin on number 2, weak reasoning is what is being resorted to when this space issue is being brought up. This is sort of like the arguement for and against rumble in games, the majority of games did not need rumble in a functional way it was just pleasing to have. you can use that same reasoning for people who prefer thir games on one disc instead of multiple ones.

@hchaudh1I do not think there will be very many games for the 360 that require an HD-DVD add-on. Take a look at the support for the PS2 hard drive. By making the HDDVD an optional purchase very few developers are going to develop for that as it would be limiting their market. Unless all future 360s come with the HDDVD drive standard, very few games are going to require one and instead will either for-go any extras or bonus features (possibly offer them as downloadable content) or span multiple discs. The PS3 on the otherhand, will be able to fully utilize the Blu-Ray as it is not optional, and will have plenty of space for the next few years where it won't need to span multiple discs (well, that is until Xenosaga 5 comes out and there's 50 hours of cut scenes).

This game could be on 5 DVDs. I and many others would/will still buy it. Blu-Ray doesn't matter. If you need to justify your $600 dollar purchase, shouldn't you talk about the games and not the media the games are on? But wait, you can't talk about the games, they suck. Or the hardware. Or the controller. Or the online. I'm sorry that Sony duped you into being an early adopter, but it was your choice. Now you can fall back and sleep at night knowing Blu-ray gives developers the type of space needed for Genji, NBA 07, Gundam, Untold Legends or Blast Factor.

I thought this has been known for years....

Wow, Alot of you 360 owners are clutching at straws.Its OK that the 360 doesn't have HD-DVD as standard, It came out a year before.It got its self planted into the market first.It may just make it because of this.But when you slam technology such as blu-ray even though its evidently better, then you are acting immaturely.The 360 has some good qualities, the PS3 has some good qualities.There is no need to make up reasons such as: "You're just lazy if you cant be arsed to get up and change a disk"If everyone had that mentality throughout history then maybe we would be sitting here looking at an abacus saying "You're just too lazy to do 1 billion calculations a second"

GoW doesn't just bury F.E.A.R., it smashes it, chops it into little pieces, swallows it down, s**ts it out, burns it, and only THEN buries it. You really need to actually PLAY GoW.
