He's from NC, that qualifies as the "South" of the U.S. so not surprising.

exactly..an additional disc is all that takes to sort this issue and not be at loss.

I'm not so sure in-game visual fidelity is really an issue. I hate to point this out because it's been said many times but, Crysis fit on 1 DVD. The issue here is that some of these games rely far too much on pre-rendered cutscenes, instead of simply making the cutscenes using the in-game assets. I like cutscenes as much as the next guy, but make smarter use of your resources, just because you have space doesn't mean you have to use it. Think if they had made all the cutscenes using less assets than CGI, this game could have been a 100+ hour playthrough without side quests!

Get a gaming PC if you're gonna act like a little whiney 2 year old over slight differences in texture resolution. Then you can take your rage and turn it into something productive rather than treading over the same old FUD thats been spread over the last few years.

you'd think activision would be posting a profit then wouldn't you, but they didn't.  They had WoW and MW2 and still posted a holiday quarter loss.

Putting HD on a system that wouldn't understand it would = fail. OF course the wii has never had this problem.

Seeing as you're talking about me, I can assure you that the DS isn't the only system I have. I just got fed up with getting temporary bans from the site for adding the games I own too quickly when the feature came out. And since then I've never been interested in sharing my PSN id, XBL tag, or the multitude of friend codes for Wii.(Although I was tempted to for Metroid Prime 3) I come here for the numbers, news, and interesting forum topics.

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?

----many may think that the 360 is at a loss because it cannot fit as much data on dvd. however in the case of multi-platform games it hurts the ps3 more than anything. developers generally develop multi-platform games for the 360 first because 1) its a bit easier to develop for and 2) they create what they need to fit the game on a 360 disc first...this hurts the ps3 because 1) it gets sub par ports most of the time and 2) it means that most developers are not using the superior processing power and storage to create better games. it still has untapped potential that is not being reached. but this is only for some multi-platform games

----dvd otherwise just means compressed data and disc swapping for 360 which isn't that big of a deal.
---the only thing that may hurt dvd and 360 in the future is lack of blu ray. once HD tv and blu ray become standard in the household (which its pretty close maybe another year or two before everyone owns and HD tv) the ps3 will be the hottest blu ray player on the market. it updates movies automatically and is very simple to use. so in the end i believe that you're right to bet on the ps3 slim as the tables are already beginning to turn in sony's favor. but it will take another year at least for the ps3 to catch up in the sales department.

sony should wait for HDTV prices to drop a bit and then drop the ps3 price and do some hardcore ps3 blu ray player advertising. and FFS blu ray movie prices need to drop. a $30 price point for new releases is insane.

Wait, what are the flaws of DVD again?

Two recent games have (or are going to) come on multiple discs? Is that really such a big deal to you (especially when it use to be considered awesome when a game comes on multiple discs)?

Rofl. And we used to have to walk ten miles to school in the snow too! Why  I tell you, back in the day...
