Xbox 360: Dead Space 2 is on two discs.

[QUOTE="iAtrocious"]

[QUOTE="IronBass"] It was not. Not from a gaming standpoint, at least. It served its purpose, which was helping Sony win the format war, but avoiding disc-swaps is not really a positive income when added everything lost because of it.Animal-Mother

I'm not doubting your statement, but what did the PS3 lose by using the Blu-Ray discs?

Remember guys, the disc swap is for the immersion... Once you open the disc tray - A NECROMORPH BABY JUMPS OUT THE DISC AND RIPS YOUR THROAT OPEN!... I don't see that immersion on any other console, do I?

Blaming why PS3 is at where it is at right now is fooie. Why not take out the entire history of Sony if we are going to put the blame on blu-ray? It's Sony. That's what they do. "Wow look at what the PS2 did to GC and Dreamcast!" No no. Cd to DVD good. DVD to blu-ray bad. It's common sense really.LOXO7

I don't think I understand what are you saying. Especially because that sounds a lot like what I said.

Could you clarify it, please?

I'm like your mom... I hate Dead Space 2.

DISCLAIMER: Mods, this is obviously a joke about the DS2 add, not truly a "your mom" joke.

And people says Sony paid EA for Extraction... when the truth is, it wouldn't even fit in a single disc. It would've been 3 discs and that's not sexy at all.

:P

Nice, and people used to laugh at BRTintedEyes

Money, marketshare and third-party exclusive support.

Having Blu-Ray is the biggest reason why the PS3 was so expensive at launch, which led to the massive difference in sales from the PS2 to the PS3. During that time the 360 built a very solid userbase, and that's why games believed/supposed PS3 exclusives (GTAIV, Assassin's Creed, FFXIII, Tekken, etc) ended in the 360. That's without saying how much money it was lost for selling the PS3 at a loss.

Part of the pre-hype/marketing popularized the idea that games were gonna get sooo big that they couldn't fit on DVDs, but now, more than 5 years into this gen, we can see that that's simply not true, since the vast majority of games fit on a single DVD, and the fewthat don't solve that problem easily with more.IronBass

Sony just did what Sony does. PS1, PS2, PS3. They are all different formats. We could say the PS3 would have been as much of a success as the PS2 if it stayed in DVD AND have more exclusive lineups at the start AND probably have it being launched at the same time as the 360. But that isn't Sony. PS1, PS2, PS2.1? No.

That "common sense" part was saracasm. As in what ever Sony did with PS2 was right. And what ever Sony did with PS3 was bad.

So everyone one should use Blu-Ray next gen. Except one that is actually fast, not like the one PS3 has. A good Blu-Ray drive could actually reduce load times quite a bit over DVD.

TC must not be old enough to remember the PS1 era when we had Final Fantasy games that were 4 discs.

Nothing wrong with swapping disks unless you're in some sort of extreme pain or discomfort doing so, & if that's the case, the problem isn't multiple disks...

If its a true, I dont see why its a huge deal. Swaps, like installs, aren't a problem unless it'd be 4 disks, or installs like mgs4.

Nothing more than a slight annoyance, though Im getting the ps3 version anyway.

So your showing that the 360 is still doing last generation qualities, thats messed upTintedEyes

So much for BD not being needed this year, eh.djsifer01

But its really not the kind of thing you're going to expect from an action game. Its quite archaic and antiquated these days.tomarlyn

That, almost single handedly, stirs me away from firing it up. I also like to save at each area, each boss(etc), so I can jump into any section I want and that means install time. True enough its just a bit of time, but its enough to get me fed up about there not being a workaround solution ala Install once and be done.

2 discs for the price of 1. Awesome...SaltyMeatballs

More like showing that the newer generation of gamers are spoiled and lazier.
