Microsoft has said they will never allow people to put out games on HDdvds. Also, I hear things about blu-ray being so slow of a disc drive that game makers often have to dupilcate data all over the place on the disc or there would be giganitc load times. So, if enough data can be removed in duplication then there would be enough room for it on one or two dvds, which is very doable.

| I think the Blu-Ray drive speed thing is blown out of proportion. The fact that loading times haven't been bad at all on any games so far: RR7 and RR6 have no discernible difference in loading times and Resistance is supposed to stream loading similar to Gears of War but I haven't played it. |
Dude, like I said, in order to reduce load times due to a slow drive speed for larger games (like, I doubt RR7 is a larger game) they duplicate data all over the place so that the drive doesn't have to go as far. It's a work around and I never said that there is huge load times. If MGS4 is a huge game that does involve a lot of data duplication to save on load times then a 360 port with faster drive speeds would reduce data size. I mean, it makes sense, but I have no idea if this is the case or even possible.

You know, I remember hearing this, but I don't remember what the hell was worse about it. Can someone pull up a list for me on these things? I'm just curious.
The question is a valid one about what would be "worse" although it doesn't have to do with hardware as much as architecture of the consoles. As stated with MGS2, the libraries which were created for the game were only designed to take specific advantage of the disadvantages of the PS2. It had nothing to do with hardware specs.
Also, you are probably right about that PS3 stuff showka. What I read made it seem like what was going on with oblivion was a common item, so I generalized it.
