I did not say the idea of a multiple disc bluray game was doable or even needed at this time. You people love to take what I say out of context. I said Multiple BD discs, trumps multiple DVD discs. Meaning no matter how you slice it BD allows "MORE GAME" for your buck.

if FFXIII filled a 50gb disc, that is about 4-6 dvd discs for 360 which is stupid. MS charges for every extra disc you make for a game. That doesn't even include the cost FOR the disc. Not to mention that the game would have to be compressed which then means loss of quality or certain things would have to go.

False.

 

"While discussing the difference between developing games for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, Carmack admitted that he wants hardcore id fans to help influence Microsoft's business practices. He also confirmed something that was hinted at in yesterday's news that Rage will be squeezed onto two DVDs: Microsoft charges developers more to publish games on multiple discs for their system. Carmack speculates quite logically that this is probably due to Microsoft not wanting to look bad next to the significant storage capabilities of the PS3's Blu-ray disc technology."
