... why would the space on a DVD be limited to 7gb? That doesn't make ANY sense. A single layer DVD is 4.7gb, and Dual layer is 9.4gb ... so ... please tell us why the 360 is limited to 7?

Good question, but it's been stated many time. "Optical Drive - As many have speculated, Xenon will not use Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. Games will come on dual-layer DVD-9 discs. While the media is the same as that of the current Xbox, the usable space on each disc is up to 7 GB. The drive is slated to run at 12X." That's quoted from Gamespy http://xbox.gamespy.com/xbox/microsoft-xbox/594331p1.html

"Retail copies of Wii games are supplied on DVD-like optical discs, which have a capacity of 8.5 Gigabytes."
