Microsoft is a sofware company

when people write DVD9 is not big enough for games I think if anyone microsoft would of known of not to use it. Microsoft is obviously knows games still will not go pass DVD9 capacity there a software company there the best at it than anyone else.

There other companys that say DVD9 for example Liar developers says DVD9 not big enough. Well if you compress there game it would fit on a DVD9 they just have there game uncompressed.

 These games prove any thing over DVD9 capacity is not needed.

• Oblivion
• GTA4
• Mass Effect

Compressing where its at

    Software company, not gaming company.

    While I agree DVD9 is sufficient for this gen, you mistake software for gaming, as the two are indeed seperate, and MS is still in its infancy in the gaming world.

Microsoft has been running games longer than sony has Windows PCs.

How do you know that GTA4 fits on one DVD?

You need good software to run games Direct X anyone.

    Microsoft does not make a majority of PC games, and PC games, for the most part, still come on CDs and install on the HDD.

    Next useless comparison?

Microsoft has been in the gaming business alot longer than sony, xbox is not microsoft first time.

That why xbox 360 is the easiest  console to developer for.

    Or I am saying that because thy are a software company, it does not make them experts on home console software. In the PC world, most things are still done on CD, not even DVD yet, so by trying to say that they have been in the software world (in PCs) does not imediately make them gods of video game software and the demands that gaming makes.

    I am not saying the are ignorent, but it is ignorent to assume that because a company has a background in comparable fields it cannot fail in a new field. It can. 

Microsoft is a software company?

NO WAY!

No S*** there a software company I just saying if anyone microsft would know if DVD9 is still good which it is.gamer4life85

    DVD9 is still viable. But just because MS stuck with it does not make it so. Some games are already pushing the boundaries of 9 gigs. Most games out now that are less space intensive, such as DoA4, Hitman, Gears, etc are coming in at around 7 gigs, meaning there is 1.5 gigs of space left on the disc, not including copy protection space requirements. 

    Are intensive RPGs going to require disc-swapping? If so, then MS didn't do its homework properly this generation. There is a reason the Wii uses DVD9s but does not support HD.

why disc swapping was totally normal for the PS1 and now its brutally unnaceptable for 360? disk swapping never lowered the quality of the game it used it i would have no problem in Gears of War 2 being 2 dvd, after mission 8, swap the disk, big deal.........

if i can save 600 bucks by swapping a disk after 10 hours of gaming, im all for it

    See, I don't want my adventure interrupted, since a major part of this new generation is seamless immersion.

    Huge loading times used to be acceptible too, but I don't want a 360 game to take two minutes to load. Thats why I dislike the PSP.

well....going from my bed to my ps1 to change a disk after the first 30 hours of FF7 was much less of an interuption than pause the game to answer the phone constantly, going to bathroom, making a snack etc its too little of an interruption to make that much of a big deal about it

    See, thats you though. I don't feel that I should have to do something to make up for the manufacture's lack of fore-sight.

    Actually, now that I think about it, disc-swapping is less intrusive than having to replace my 360 all the time, since that zaps a week of gaming at a time.
