^and the extra space never hurt. Many haters are still in denial, but sooner than later (and I expect that to be before 2010) 8.5GB won't be enough for HD games, compressed or whatever.

Oh, games will definitely need more space rather soon.

Still, I think it was a good move for MS to go with DVD back in 2005. I don't think disc size will be a real problem until 2010-2011, which is when MS is probably looking to replace the console anyway.

Going with DVD also allowed MS neutrality in the format war, which ended up being a good thing for them. 


Personally I'm of the opinion that it makes sense to move to a newer and larger format if the previous format is already obsolete (as in most games require more than one disc) or the additional cost of the newer format is not noticeably higher than the previous format; neither of these things will (really) be true until 2010-2011 which (as you said) is probably when all the companies will start moving their strategies towards "Next Generation" consoles.
