I thought i heard Xenosaga is two DVD's but I wasn't sure. I wonder if they did it like FF7 and each disk actually contains the full game with different cut scenes. But i'm willing to bet that the actual game, sans cut scenes, is less than 8 gigs. :D
ABF/ You're assuming that every GC or DVD game uses the full capacity of the disk which is not true, you're also assuming that most people will buy 50 current gen titles and i can count the number of people who have 50 games for any current gen console on 3 fingers. :D But again, i'm not saying this coming gen is going to be mediumless, i'm saying it's the begining of it. Somewhere in the lifespan of revolution, 360 and PS3 we will buy full games and download them right from the console and if it makes money, indies and giants will follow it. People will complain that they can only d/l one or two full games and someone will capatalize on that and release larger HDDs, and so on. And i also expect to see people ordering games off the network and having it sent to them in the mail which will only fuel the consumers desire to have d/l games and futher the extinction of video game stores or atleast cause them to evolve in to something different (more retro games, more PC and peripherals, etc)
