...it's 18 gigs + however much data is repeated on each disc... 18 gigs is 3 360 discs... yeah... light compression.
Or... it's been halved. I never knew cuting something in half was light.

By audiovisual standards it's very, very light.

non-compressed audio would be a huge storage burden...

Indeed, and non-compressed video is even worse. The PS3 notwithstanding, most commercial-quality A/V tends to compress by 80-90%, often with no perceptible loss of quality at all. 50% is nothing.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
