Funny... Many of the PS2's most beloved games spanned several disks, and the PS2 fanboys didn't seem to care much. Now it has become a huge hot-button issue for them... I wonder why.

It's probably due to the fact that Blu-Ray is one of their only advantages over Sony's competitors.

Because a new medium as standard wasn't available back then? The PS2 already leaped from the PS1's CDs to DVDs.

That's because there were PS1 games from the very beginning that had already exceeded CD's storage capacity. On the other hand, there were no games last generation that pushed DVD's storage capacity.

You have to get up to change DVD's for games anyway when you want to play another game. This crap of you can't return to other areas is bollocks as even when games go over and have to be put on 2 DVD's there will be so much empty space that they can duplicate a lot of the data so you have most of the previous area on the next disc anyway.

I wonder if this kind of argument was made by N64 owners against PS owners.

My god.. the thought of switching a disc! The horror!

Then again, I guess most PS3 owners don't work out much. Must be a real struggle.

seeing how Oblivion only took one disk as well, I'm not too worried about the future of the 360. It seems as though MS offers excellent compression tools to developers, unlike Sony whose only option for developers is to put several copies of certain areas on different parts of the disc. For the PS3, BluRay is needed. Can't say the same for the 360 though. Seems as though developers know what their doing with the hardware when games like Oblivion and Mass Effect can fit on a single DVD. :)Nedemis
