Well recently the flaws of the DVD medium has been discussed as one of the major constraints of adding HD content. Who is at loss this gen? Are any measures going to be undertaken to avoid this compromising that has to be dealt with?

I think development teams have to go on pushing hardware to it's limit.

In their way to that goal, they may find the space trouble. OK, no problem. They should figure out how to split it into as many DVDs as needed and carry on.

As I read earlier in this site, it would be a possibility to split the games in 1 DVD for Story Mode and another DVD for online. With that I mean that the standart would be something like "once you start story mode, you won't have to swap the disc. Same for multiplayer. Once you start playing multiplayer, forget disc swapping".

It's sad we have reached this point this early. We all knew it would arrive sooner or later... But I feel insecure regarding how PS3 can suffer collateral damage.

With so many big publishers losing money or making ridiculously small profits on 10 million + selling games maybe it's time they abandoned HD content for now!

Well Wii has managed to live through all these without the need for an HD content. In terms of both software and hardware sales, it's very limitation hasn't been a constraint at all this generation. That seems something hard to digest when other consoles(HD ones) are mending ways for paving the road ahead on their own terms.

DING DING DING DING DING! Sure the HD content is amazing, but the market for them isn't expanding nearly as much as the cost to develop the games is. I doubt we'd really want a price hike on software to balance the scale.

at the expense of dev's bleeding we ought to increase the space here for them to breathe.

lol...HD content...

you kids make me laugh.

Sub 720p is not HD on either console... besides Gameplay >>>> amount of HD content

If you think games and companies fail cause they can't provide their HD content then I hope to be as oblivious as you are some day.

Games that need more space can go on 2 or more discs...

I love how the first couple of comments are basically saying "screw the ps3 and 360 then" definately don't deserve to be called gamers.

Speaking of DVDs (not the ones used for the video game medium), has anyone noticed that stores have been selling recent releases of movies and whatnot on DVDs for cheap prices? My mom bought a crap-load of them, including the 6th Harry Potter movie for me as a Valentine's present. I told her I didn't want it because it wasn't Widescreen (it was Full Screen) and it wasn't on Blu-Ray. I told her that I'm waiting to buy all of the Harry Potter films (on a compilation collection; they have those at Sam's Club, AND on Blu-Ray) on Blu-Ray. Plus, I've noticed how shitty some of my regular DVDs are when I play them on my laptop's Blu-Ray player.

well the consoles can barely handle 720p for most games.. so I dont know what the noise is about...

In other news;you might wanna get your fat ass off your sofa and swap discs.. like they used to.. in the good old days!
