Any game that doesn't have copypasted assets everywhere will have more than one disc on 360.

What's the big deal? It's archaic, that's what. Other than a 360 game, when was the last time you swapped discs? Not even full featured movies have multiple DVDs. I think there was 1 game for PS2 with 2 discs, but I may be wrong. In a time of technical advancements and ever-expanding storage, having to switch discs is something of the past. If I didn't have a choice, I'd do it, but like I said, it's a thing of the past.

Do you get ticked off when you have to change games? You have to get up and swap discs then.

I've said it before....but.... "He outlined that both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have their share of "issues... but you have to work around them." The solution Mercury Steam is using involves offering an installation option within the first disc on the Xbox 360 version, so that players can enjoy the entire game by simply loading the second disc." Look - right there, not even a valid argument about inconvenience for the vast majority of users - simply install (will take at the most 10-15 minutes) then play.

I already said that I hardly play my PS3/Wii because of discs. I don't care for them because it's not in my convenience. I have a PC hooked up to my TV, and guess what, if I want to play a game, I get on Steam. Bam. Games without getting up.

After standing on my two feet for 8 hours at work, I come home and want to sit. I'm sorry that you don't understand that.

That's fair enough, just install the first disc then.

.I understand completely. I don't feel like standing when I play games either, especially after work, thats why I've yet to get a Wii, but I really don't see switching discs to be a bothersome issue.

Its only one of the reasons I have yet to get a Wii. Everyone I know that has one never plays it, and I don't want to fall in that category. While there is a few games that look a bit interesting, like most of their first party titles, I just can't buckle down and fork out the money for it. Instead I end up buying a few 360, or PS3 games. I'm sure I'll get one eventually though.

Yep. I don't hate on Wii owners, because there are some great titles on that system, but the games on that system that I want to play are few, or not enough yet to warrant the purchase. Its kinda sad to see how a lot of third party companies really can't get a handle on the hardware, while Nintendo keeps pushing out quality first party games. There are a few third party games that look interesting though, like Mad World, The Conduit, and Monster Hunter(I think its third party)

yea theyre are many but they quickly get outshined by the hd consoles 3rd party support. however the wii has enough games to literally last me until the end of the generation i just want to play all games from everywhere:)

Well, you better get to work, because they aren't huge yet!

That's a big difference between Need and Want, I guess.:P

On the plus side, at least we can tell who's legit in this darn SW, guys like me and you are out there representing.
What's your Gamertag by the way, I didn't realize you got a 360?

Let's play some Castlevania XBLA coming up, it's a new multiplayer Castlevania game, and would be great for guys like you and me, 360 owners that love achievements and good games, and most importantly, love Castlevania. :P

Lords of Shadow looks to be sweet, since Kojima is involved as well.

True indeed. Thats why its best to own all consoles if possible. If you generally enjoy games, then you don't want to miss out on the best that each system has to offer. If and when I do get a Wii, I'll be getting Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Punch out, and Zelda Skyward Sword for sure.

Disc-swapping still takes way less time than installing the stupid game... and I'm a cow saying this.
