Multiple Disc Argument - It just doesn’t work for anyone.

I don't think it's a big deal so as long as it's not a SO4 type of situation (needing to swap to back track). That doesn't mean that we should stick with the same media forever though because when you do that, eventually the situation will get out of hand (ie. can you imagine what it would be like if we still used CDs?). I wouldn't recommend the Next Box to stick with DL DVD for example. I'd recommend they use Blu-Ray since it'll be dirt cheap by then. Now for 2005/2006 when Blu-Ray cost a fortune, MS made the right move to stick with DL DVDs to keep their console at $400. Selling a game console at $500-600 is unacceptable. MS is starting to face some challenges now (assuming that Lost Planet 2 needs a second disc for actual game content and not CGI crap, then I can understand the need for more space) with DVD media but that could be rectified by starting to require hard drive installs for certain games (You'll need the HDD to download the Lost Planet 2 DLC anyway. You might as well put that content on a second disc and then require an installation) MS can then add a 20 GB hard drive to the Arcade SKU at no extra charge and then start selling a 20 GB HDD add-on for a reasonable price so existing Arcade and Core owners don't get shafted.

The idea of a Blu-Ray add-on doesn't appeal to me (can you imagine having an exteral blu-ray reader attached to the 360? What is this Sega CD/32X all over again? lol.) because a lot of Blu-Ray games require hard drive installs anyway due to slow read speeds. Hard drive installs are a better solution to Blu-Ray.
