And then there are cases like Uncharted where even the main engine of the game can't fit on a single disc, let alone things like audio, story, and new areas. How many 360 games could have been improved with this? Mass Effect, no loading whatsoever? Who knows. How many game elements were nixed entirely because of the limitations of DVD9? |
Somewhat beneficial? You do know that, in 2005, HD-DVD drives were very expensive, right? So 360 launches at $599 and $499, for premium and core, respectively.
Sound familiar?
