Next Gen Disk Format

Hey guys. Well, I guess it will take some years until we see the new xbox console, but hey what do you think it will be the next disk format? Will Microsoft stick to dvd's or will they copy Sony with the blu-ray?

They really wont have a choice and will probably need to go with blu ray. It's not just the fact that they need more space for games (average next gen game wont fit on DVD) but its also the fact that it's is the standard for for movies and other video now which means leaving it will be a major blow to the next system. I really dont see them going another route.

Either HD-DVD or Blu Ray, if they are smart they will go with Blu Ray.

They will most likely have to use Blu-ray. As said previously, it has become the new standard. HD-DVD is dead.

It makes a lot of sense to use something else. Something like USB flash drives, for example.

I still think that they will use Dvd's with larger capacity

i actually heard somewhere on a giantbomb bombcast that someone was talking with someone from microsoft and they said they mentioned a strong case for HD-DVD.

I think It could actually work thou because dvds still out sell blue raysMicrosoft could bring back the HD-DVD all together or just for games. I would prefer just digital copies. you never need to pre order, you never need to wait in line. the game would dl at midnight of the games release. there would never be sold outs of games. It would also eliminate preorder bonouses and the used game sales controversy which would eliminate online pass codes and what not. and hopefully make games cheaper. (no disce, case, booklet etc.)

nintendo is rumored to use blu-ray

mictosft may use a dvd again im not to sure they need bluray , the average game does to fit on a dvd lol heck wwe 2011 was 4.5 gigs out of the 9 gigs on the disc

and ms is developing a bigger sized dvd , so they may be using that

sony will stick to bluray

Either HD-DVD or Blu Ray, if they are smart they will go with Blu Ray.
