It's going with 3 dvds because they are compressing it meaning that the cinemas of the 360 version will be in dvd quality while they will be in blu-ray quality on ps3. It's like you go in a Wal~Mart and you can get the dvd version of Watchmen or the blu-ray version.


S-E has stated numerous times that both versions will be indentical, meaning that if the 360 version has downscaled videos the PS3 version will have to as well.


      Oh well, if they downscaled the videos of the PS3 version because Microsoft gave them some money, I'll just wait for Versus then.



Hmmm...too many Marcos and not enough Polos me thinks.

cheap M$ and all this time they lie about being HD console, those bastards.


     It can output gaming signals in hd.  However as Itagaki says dvd is not an ideal hd video format:

 

"If we encoded the Dead or Alive 4 trailer from E3 in high definition in a quality acceptable to us, it will easily be about 2GB." (Xbox 360 DVDs will hold 9GB of data.)

"With DOA4, we'll be using the disc's capacity to its full extent. We started development on DOA4 pretty early, and we didn't know what disc format the Xbox 360 was going to adopt. So when we learned about it, we were really knocked out."

Why would MS pay royalties to Sony by using Blu-Ray? They are much better next gen to bring back HD DVD in larger capacity or their own format that can still deliver HD content.

Also thanks for linking a article over 4 years old, but Mr Ninja still put DOA4 exclusive to the 360 so the point was mute.

Domt´ forget, LO had five language tracks. And sound usually takes a lot of space.
