I honestly don't know why people care about multiple discs so much. Is it really that big of a deal to change a disc ever 20 or so hours?

Not a big deal. I have already done 9 discs for Phantasmagoria.

I don't care if it is 1 disc or 7, but i laugh at the people that say 7 DVDs have more value than 1 BR when is the SAME PHREAKING CONTENT, if a PS3 fanboy mocks at the DVD space a 360 fanboy is not better saying that brings more value...

Now, if the game has more than 1 BR it will be Epic, and as a gamer, i hope that 360 owners get all the BR content even if it translates in 20 discs...

Come on now. Seven or eight discs. Really SlorgNet? You may want to take off those Sony tinted glasses.

This just in: Sony fanboys still eager prove that any game that has to be released on multiple disks is awful. Desperate search to find inferiority in Xbox360 continues unabated.


Who really cares if it comes on multiple disks? Honestly. You know, if I buy a DVD box set that costs $50 and comes on 6 DVD's, I don't complain. Actually, I complain when the same set releases on a one or two Blu-Ray disks and costs $60-70. Which is exactly how it seems to go. Two-disk DVD special edition of a recently released movie? $24.99. Single-disk Blu-Ray version of same film? $29.99. Which one says "value" to you.


Game releases on PS3 on one disk.
Same game releases on Xbox360 on 2 disks.
Game still sells better on the Xbox360 anyway.

The "FFVII 3 disc" justification is invalid while the "load time vs. game install" is also invalid. The bigger picture here is that developers had no other choices but CD's and cartridges during the 32/64 bit days where CD's proved to be more advantageous. Choices now are Blu-ray and DVD's where as the console industry progresses, Blu-ray has proven more advantageous. It's not as much a CD's and cartridges, but still advantages. And with the NXE, is seems that hard drive installs will be the preference at this rate on the 360 when given the oppotunity even though it's not required. So now both the 360 and PS3 has the common advantage of hard drive installation.

My only problem with installs on larger games is I'm worried they will make me install them all at the same time.  I really don't want to devote 20+ gigs of my hard drive to a single game.

Has anyone installed something like Lost Odyssey?  Does it let you install a single disk at a time instead of making you install the entire game?

So that means ever 10-20 hours I will have to move....

The single Blu-Ray disc of the same film for $30 = better value because I'm getting the HD video and audio content I want while not being fool by the number of discs like, sadly, most of the masses.  Fine example = the Edward Norton HULK which actually comes in two Blu-rays in which I paid under $24 though Amazon.

Is this really an issue if gamers get what they want?

I dont see whats the problem with multi-disc. Some of my favourite games like Baldurs Game (5 CD's) , Planescape Torment (4 cd's) and BG 2 (4 ) were on few discs, and they are still the best RPG's ever.

I dont really see that affecting gameplay and joy from gaming.
