Blu-ray would be the obvious choice. But if they want zero piracy they should go with HD-DVD. The only problem with that they would be limited to 30GB per disc and by then you will probably have 100GB Blu-ray's also the drive speed would be a lot slower since HD-DVD is a dead format they no longer working on improving the drive speed.

I think we could see Flash memory as the medium using USB 3.0, hard to say but in a couple of years 50 GB flash won't be very expensive.



Blu-ray for storage reasons



no idea how to make this properly work

prob Blu-ray or all digital Download

if they announce blu-ray for it, all the 360 hardcore who are like blu-rays shit, why would want bluray (you know who you are) will have to eat humble pie

Voted blu-ray.

I've seen some threads here stating how blu-ray is doomedz and how it's not picking up as well as DVD. But it did not have a fanboy tone, and was more in line with statistics.

I dont thinkIi am the one being rude here...

 I am one of the most staunch supporters of the 360 and I love Blu-Ray... as do most 360 owners with a media/movie interest.

thats fine, 

but dont tell me you have never run into some 360 supporter who has been like PS3 sucks, no one wants blu-ray etc 

if you havent then you are very lucky

i NEVER said 'all 360 owners hate blu-ray' only all the ones who said blu-ray ect 



I read something a couple years ago about a 300gb disk,I would imagine they'll use something relative to this,but depending on standard bandwith,say if most people have 100mps by the time the next xbox hit its quite possible that everything will be downloadable and they'll be no physical storage medium,it would suck,but definetly a possibility.



I'm actually going to guess DVD again. The reason for this is that I'm absolutely certain of one thing: whatever comes on most new PCs at the time of the console's release, that's what the 360's successor will use. I doubt that Blu-Ray will be standard on most new PCs by then (if it ever becomes the standard, and I have some doubts about that).



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
