Disc swap for a linear game isn’t all that bad. I don’t recall fussing when we swapped discs for Final Fantasy games on the PSOne.

The greedy thing for MS to do is come out with yet another version of the 360 with some next-gen format support, and then games end up requiring it. Yeah, let’s see how swapping discs go for now.

Plus, there’s nothing stopping devs from putting an “install on hard drive” option (for those with the space, obviously). PC’s have been doing optional full game hard drive installs forever.

Its not about whether swapping discs is a problem. Its about MS needing to get the 360 on the market a year before the PS3, and to do so eliminated the possibility of HD-DVD. All this nonsense about format superiority is just that, nonsense. If they could have gotten HD-DVD in time for a holiday 05 launch, MS would have done it. DVD was only chosen in order to facilitate a rapid hardware development cycle, which also consequently led to high mortality rate of the hardware.

The fact that it is only 40-50 hours on 4 discs worries me, frankly. Other games, on one disc, have over double that (I make note of the Dark Cloud series). I do hope its content more than makes up for the lack of length seemingly affiliated with so many discs.

Still, getting up every so often to change a disc is hardly a problem. Don’t see what all the fuss is about, really.

Here’s the way I see it: The more discs a game is, the more epic

So when Microsoft said that DVD is big enough for next gen gaming they actually meant it isn’t big enough and they would have to spread games over multiple disks? I don’t recall them saying that last bit.

Lets get things straight here. If the 360 was being released this year it would have an internal HD-DVD drive. End of.
