I've been looking around and I cant find anything relating to the next place they'll take Xbox 360 discs..

IMO, Xbox has already lost... HDDVD is dead, and therefor, there will be no room for next gen games. (Forget consoles, its too early to release another console)

I just dont see how they can match up when PS3 hits its maximum disc capacity. I believe we're at 50gb so far, compared to 360's 8gb. Thats 6 xbox discs to equal 1 PS3 disc. and you say disc switching isnt a problem? you can handle taking the disc out and switching it every once in a while? yeah... i totally agree.

But seeing as how physically, a bluray and a dvd are the same size... i guess they could make games on PS3, with 50gb blurays, with a 2 disc game. Math time! 6 dvds=1 bluray... sooo, 2 blurays=12 dvds.. You're willing to buy a game that comes with A DOZEN discs? i dont think so, id rather have 2 discs... less $ to lose...

But wait, we arent done yet. Seeing as how Toshiba bowed out, leaving bluray to become the new format, TDK has been working on something special for us.

Two Hundred Gigabytes... im not even gunna bother converting that one. Sure it says that so far most bluray players are unable to read the new TDK disc. But the format battle ended on Feb 16, 2008, if I did my research correctly. That means its been almost 2 years into bluray and they've released the largest capacity ever on an optical disc format. I give it another year MAX before this is perfected and the possibility of a bigger PS3 game is here...

You will install the game onto the hard drive of your 360 you say? You really wanna spend all that time importing all that onto the harddrive? Either way, the largest 360 HDD i can find so far, (correct me if I'm wrong) is 120gb. This is the smaller of the two options for PS3. And even then, when Bluray reaches full capacity, you will only get to install 2 games on that HDD before its full.

I will give a benefit of the doubt that a larger HDD will be available by that time. But if the HDD for 360 can increase, then so can the HDD for PS3.

And lets not discount the fact that the new PS3s can use laptop HDDs, instead of the proprietary ones for 360. Also, who says the PS3 has to even use a HDD?

With advances being made in SSD technology, PS3 may end up going for SSD right outa the box some time soon. I bring this up, not because I am seeking to write off the 360, but because I'm concerned for the competition. If 360 does lose, (theoretical here) and all the developers jump ship for bigger capacity, that leaves no competition to bring the price of the system (or games) down. I WANT 360 TO DO WELL, if only to keep the market hot.

So I bring it to you, see if you can find a reasonable solution for this, and post it. DVD capacity increasing? Better compression methods? I dont care, debate with me about this please.

P.S. I did my research, please do yours too.

Ok, there are too many PS3 zealots with fanboi glasses on this thread. I'd like to know who said it's to early to talk about the next console. I know it's too early for the PS4 because the PS3 supposedly has a 10 yr life span, thats 2016, but the Xbox360 is having Natal release next year. They will play around with that for 2 years, so by 2012 we can have the Next Xbox with new technology. Heck Nintendo already has their next system in development. They willprobably be first to release.

Talking about a 200 GB bluray games, what game company will make that? Sony themselves? Think of the development costs and the development time ! By the time the game is complete it would be time for the NExt Gen consoles.

What do you think of the Bayontta demo? I must have - or - a weak DMC knok off. I felt like they should have had more on the demo. The falling clock had just way to much going on. And the guns didn't fell like they were doing to much damage. But it was fun to play. What's your take on the demo?

My favorite game is Super Smash Bros Melee. I have spent hundreds of hours on that game alone.

The new LoZ will be annouced at E3. Producer Eiji Aonuma said "So we have been trying something new in terms of the structure of the Wii version of the new Zelda game this time," he continued. "I am really hopeful that people will be surprised with the changes we have implemented for this Wii version."

What do you think the changes or surprises will be ? And what changes do you want to happen to the Zelda series?

You just live in a society where it is viewed like that. For example in Brazil it isn't odd to have women cheat on their husbands on a regular basis. And when asked "It is just sex." because it isn't a big deal. Some Pacific islanders have American social norms reversed. The woman goes out and works to bring home food while the man sits at home with the kids. And the woman has to instigate any sexual encounters.
