DVD is increasingly showing a strain in providing HD content.

I don't know, I'm very skeptical about trusting a hard drive to keepsake my whole game. I heard that's the route MS wants to eventually take--a complete media download into the console. (correct me if I'm wrong on this) If they do, then higher capacity hard drives are a must if you want to keep a few games in hand. Many also don't have a fast enough connection to download 25+GBs fast enough.

doesn't mean you can't buy the disc which has the whole game on it you can install onto your hard drive. 

 

Isn't that what they are doing right now? Wasn't Bayonetta an HD install and showed very fast loading times. I don't know how fast Blu-ray is, but it would be interesting to see if Sony starts following the HD install from a blu-ray just to keep up with loading times or if the they can achieve similar results from disk play.

Either way, I think MS needs a new media because DVD9 will not cut it for the next generation. I'll keep saying that they should pay toshiba and revive HD-DVD.

yeah but DVD is fine if installs are mandatory anyways.  That's how it operates on PC.  You can put way more data to be unpacked that way and multiple dvds is not much of an issue this way.
