So I was looking on Wikipedia about DVD's and it said

That there are double sided dual layered DVD's that can hold up to 17.08 gigs of data. That would mean that you can have more data then just the Regular Dual Layered DVD. That would also make disc changing a lot faster because all you have to do if flip the disc around and then close the tray again. So now instead of having 23342353 discs you only have 1.

Or you could just put in a different disk. Its not really more convienient.

i used to get those with some PC mags. pretty handy. they could use those which would mean less discs need to be manufactured. but its really up to MS on whether we will see those on the 360 or not.osan0

does dvd industry use dvd-18 disc?

That sounds scratch-tastic.

DVD Movies already use those Double sided DVD's.:|

I literally own thousands of DVD movies, this is old, old, old news. They are terrible. I always have hated them.

Either way, you would still have to open the disc tray, and flip it...but now with a fingerprint problem in the longterm (the main reason I hate them, besides the fact I always want WIDESCREEN, and I hate watching the STANDARD 4:3 aspect side before realizing it's the stupid wrong side of the disc! Why is that pesky 4:3 available anyways? It's awful, even for Standard TV's, I would only use the Widescreen option.)

Now, I'm an adult, who is careful with his things.

Imagine children and teenagers that clean DVD's with their t-shirts dealing with these double layered DVD's as a games console format on a regular basis.

Its not exclusive to bluray, its not an inheret bluray spec it HAD to be added to bluray otherwise you'd be using bulky expensive cartridge holders for blurays.

AS for that I don't know why they haven't used double sided dual layered dvd's they could have put a dual reader laser in the 360 so it reads bottom and top.

I almost thought we could get two pages in without the first fanboy comment, but of course I was wrong. Ok shed some light..what Microsoft product do we have to rebuy every few months?

not many use double-sided dvd's anymore just because it's easier to scratch or mistreat

besides that, you have to flip the disc over anyways, and it's cheaper for the publisher to buy a second dvd and have the user just put that disc in

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"]

[QUOTE="xX-Incubus-Xx"]WHich makes you wonder why MS hasn't adopted it...They like to make their consumer base rebuy stuff every few months, why should their licensed games be any different?

DVDs are becoming impratical these days :lol:

Xbox 360 vs PS3: Round 8: (Media Playback)

i agree. But don't get me wrong I have about 72 dvds and only 40 BR (my brother moved out and he took back his 200+ DVDs).

But the differences (and convenience) are obvious, imo. And like I said before a few months back, people STILL prefer their Hard Copies. No matter how widely popular Digitial Distribution has become.
