8:28: My net connection crapped out and I lost three paragraphs. Sorry. The QA session continues. Carmack is complaining about DVDs. He says that from id's point of view, 360's hardware is superior to PS3'sbut that BluRay's capacity gives Sony's system an important edge, especially for large game worlds like Rage's.

When comparing the Xbox 360 to the PS3, the more spacious Blu-ray format is the only thing Carmack likes more about Sony's console. Everything else is better on the 360, he says.

Indeed, i noticed that, but he is pro-360 for long now, so was not strange

He said that but then read this:

At the QuakeCon 2008 press conference and keynote address, Carmack confirmed that the content of Rage would exceed two Xbox 360 discs, yet fit on one high-capacity Blu-Ray disc for the PlayStation 3. Because it's not cost effective to release a title on three discs because of both material costs and a hefty royalty fee levied by Microsoft, Carmack said they would have to sacrifice the quality of the visuals on the 360 in order to fit on two discs. Unless Microsoft is willing to work with id on the disc royalty fees, the PlayStation 3 version will simply look better, Carmack said.

Its just weird that he said the 360 is easier to develop games for but the PS3 will end up being the superior version lol.
