Cool. Thanks man. @Groucho-The article was shown to prove nothing because the author didn't understand the first thing about drifting, so the conversation wasn't going to go anywhere. Notice not one GT supporter actually vouched for the video or tried a counter argument to those claiming it was bullshit. Most answers came down to a single way of thinking "GT is better because it's GT, no reasoning required".

Hmm yes, good points.
Well, if its back to the DVD vs BD argument... you don't "win", sorry. =) Its a minor issue in this case, but yes, BD, and a lower disc count is better, again particularly when the manufacturer of the multi-disc console has not put foam bumpers on, to prevent impact damage during minor bumps. I don't see how that's really something that can be denied as basic fact -- however, its not a major issue for most adult 360 owners, who aren't as likely to bump into their entertainment center, etc. while anticipating an irritating disc swap.
You can argue all day long about how 1080p isn't much better than 720p as well -- but in the end, it is for some people, and the reverse is never true -- especially if your 720p TV is somehow cheaply made in such a way that damages it when its trying to scale a 1080p image to fit or somesuch.
Multi-DVDs also increase packaging and manufacturing costs, resulting in less profit -- so the answer to "are games going the way of BD" is a resounding "yup", no matter what you may like to believe. This same issue is what drives the movie industry, and the retail industry, to push BD so hard (they devote way more shelf space to it than its current marketshare justifies)... An entire SD TV season on one disc instead of 6? Yup, profit increase, check. Less shelf space per unit of valuable, high-margin inventory? Yup, check. Retail will take that.
