is there going to be News kind of disc for Xbox 720?

should MS stick with HD DVD or make a new kind of disc

Well call it

HD Gates Ray

IT's Definitely not DVD.

DVD gets no round Three!

I can't speak for the Wii.

========== :P

DD combined with Blu, or a new proprietary format.

There will definitely be a new kind of disc for the XBox 720... it will be a revolutionary new format to combat piracy. It won't be a cd, it won't be a dvd, it will be the fantastic that is GD-ROM!!!!

I vote for digital downloads and a massive HDD, we will end up there sooner or later, and we can't start too early. Steam is already a prime example of how well it could work

have you heard of the PSP GO disaster

Maybe one of these?

:oops:

:)

They'll use blu-ray.

How many floppy's would Final Fantasy 13 take up??? I wouldnt like to change discs on that bad-boy!

lets go back to cartridges. Although I dont see that happening for a long time if ever. Probably never

The next xbox will use bluray or whatever the new disc is by then, with the option for digital download being more prominent, but not solely relied on

Okay max floppy disc size is 240 MB not bad.

How many MBs do you's reckon FF13 is at an estimate???

They're going to go to Blu-ray and pay Sony $$$, haha.masterpinky2000

Wrong. They'll be paying the BDA, not Sony, as Sony doesn't even own Blu-Ray, especially when there's a VC-1 codec on each Blu-Ray disc (in which that codec is Microsoft's). Even then, they won't have to worry about paying much money to the BDA to have it supported on their next X-Box console like Sony did, because it's already becoming cheaper.

Didnt Sony start 2 projects with Pioneer that became blu ray and Form BDA to gain support. and BDA was started by 9 companies including sony so. part of it belongs to them

Didnt Sony made projects with Pioneer and another Company that became blu ray and Form BDA to gain support. so that means a part of BDA belongs to sony

Bill Gates pioneered the PC....does that mean EVERY PC in the world belongs to MS?

I could deffinately see Microsoft have Blu-Ray and Digital Downloads releases of games next generation, hell I could even see them releaseing digital versions of the games a week earlier or so to encourage people to buy the digital version of the game.

10x1000=10000/240=41.6 so thats 42 floppy discs

I'm I think you are the one who needs to do the math....

8 bits = 1 byte

1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte

1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte

1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte

Also I believe the max amount of space that can be used on one DVD-9 disk for the Xbox 360 is 6.7 or 6.8 GB the rest of the memory is reserved for something else I believe, so that would be

3 x 6.8 = 20.4 GB x 1024 = 20889.6 MB

20889.6/240 = 87.04 Floppy Disks @ 240 MB each.

Nobody wants the HD Gates Ray i think M$ should really make there own kind of disc

I would be surprised if i found out microsoft didn't already have there pockets in an investment for a new type of disc.Bazazzar

it would also be big trouble for sony and its BDA partners might use the new kind of disc making a new kind of Format war
