Multiple disks is not an annoyance to me. If they are for you, they are for you. But how does the whole scratch argument apply? A disk of a single disk game is just as scratch prone.

I should have seen this turning into a "Blu-Ray is better" thread.

So you are saying that based on probability that having to handle 4 discs is less likely to cause one of them to get scratched than just handling one disc? What about all the time you have to spend pulling out and putting away each of the individual dics, not to mention the fact that games are FAR more likely to pop out of the casing while being stored when their are multiple discs. Those stupid little plastic flaps in the middle of the DVD case are way more prone to letting go of the disc than the standard holder is.
And actually, in the case of Blu-Ray there is a scratch advantage, because it has a spray on lining that helps prevent scratch damage. Don't believe me? Go look at the videos online on Youtube of people scratching their discs with STEEL WOOL and then playing them in their PS3 with no problems.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
I'll take four DVD discs of Lost Odyssey over zero Blu-ray discs of a AAA JRPG any day of the week.
Sigh...

Jeez kid, back off the caffiene, are you a door to door salesman for Sony or something? Cause I'm not buyin' any, lol (J/K). Blu-Ray would be a wonderful option if it didn't require installation or oodles of redundant data to eliminate the hideous loading times, its a compromise like anything. Enjoy your steel wool though, I like many others will be enjoying lost odyssey.

GTA4 already said they need a HDD and not every 360 has one, but you guys expect them to fit an entire city on one disc with no load times for the whole map and every building you go in. How would you guys expect FF:13/MGS4 on 360, would you need to change discs everytime you went somewhere. |
u are so right

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
i just want 60 hours out of it and 4 discs are ok w/ me. :]
I am just taking in all the benefits of the console war.
