It won't be costly at all as MS will use blu-ray. Blu-ray was clearly not needed this gen and MS will make the appropriate move next gen to meet the needs of storage and development.

I'm pretty sure they might have to buy into blu ray, its not just as simple as saying they are going to use it next gen which leads me back to my point, it will be costly for them next gen

MS believe DD is the way to go, they'll simply use a beefed up HDDVD, as long as it play DVD's it's fine.
|
I don't believe DD is the way to go, Sony found out the hard way it doesnt do so well, and that's with small psp games, imagine the size of files for next gen games, I'd believe the gen after we would be ready for it, but not many countries have strong internet conections, yes main countries do, but if they want strong WW sales they will have to wait for DD i believe

Doesn't matter what you and I think, it'll be Microsoft's call, and they have more of an idea on this than you and I.

If they wen't DD they woud severley limit there market to countries of wealth, no one would want to download a 30gb game, it would take hours on an average internet conection in the UK not to mention people with limited monthly download sizes, Sony already made a costly experiment with this and others should learn from it
it took me 55 mins to download FF7 of the PSN on a 10mb connection which is about 1.67gb.....30gb would just be madness, on some of the highest internet speed in the world with 50mb it would take nearly 3 hours.
