Its just as good as asking who cares about games like Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted 2 or GOd of War 3...and even like asking who gives a damn on Avatar's Blue-Ray...

For some reason... I doubt those games absolutely required BluRay.

God of war 3 uses 40 GB of data

Uncharted 2 is 22 GB

MGS4 is about 26 GB

While those games are completely uncompressed, even once compressed they need bluray...

Next gen will be interesting to say the least, but bluray is absolutely not necessary this gen. 5 years in and howmany 360 games need disk swaps? I know 2 (FF13 and Lost Oddisey)...with 2 more to come out (rage and Castlevania lords of shadow).

Forza doesn't count as it needs an install to add cars, and not a swap.

But multiple DVDs is an option. So you can't really say they need BluRay. Also, we don't really know if those games can fit on single DVD compressed.

Other games that use multiple discs are Star Ocean 4, Blue Dragon, and Mass Effect 2. Only a tiny portion of the 360's library uses multiple discs.

It's not option with sandbox games.
