The fact that they're still releasing games on four CDs instead of one DVD is so incredibly stupid... I've had a DVD drive in my computer for over four years!
At least some of the more major titles have gotten DVD special editions and stuff. It's still not nearly enough...
Anyway, a larger format is certainly needed for higher resolutions. Higher resolutions means higher res art, which means larger files... this is why Revolution won't have a big problem being on just DVDs, while X360 could be in more trouble... oh, you can always compress things down to fit them into smaller media formats, but a lot of companies have problems doing that efficiently...
