I agree totally.
I mentioned a few posts back about Final Fantasy VII coming on 4 Cds - it was THE game that drove Playstation sales, at least in the UK. Multiple discs doesn't discourage the consumer if the game is good/popular enough.
I think that *if* MS launch Xenon fall 2005, they cannot feasibly have an HD optical format. As many people on this board are wont to argue, MS still have to answer to shareholders etc... people can't castigate them for bleeding money on this Xbox, and then castigate them for trying to learn from their lessons for their next console, and *not* bleed money.
To be honest, i really don't give a shit what media next gen games come on as long as there are some great games to play.
I'll ask one question - what is your favourite game of this gen thus far?
I'll guarantee more than one person will say RE4, and rightly so.
Shit. Smallest media, and it comes on 2 discs. Damn.
