You could have games that would almost never end!

I doubt that games are mainly limited by how much you can fit on a disc... who's gonna program and design enough stuff to fill 46 GB?

Well they could make all the textures .BMP images and....um....STFU!







Either way - I'll wait to see what the final specs/technology is on the next gen consoles before buying one.

Hum.. ithink we can do it with a fucntion.. but i dont know how to put it on the calculator yet..

I've always dreamed of the kind of game that you can use/manipulate/wreck anything, like the real world....You can never have too much space in a game

but those 46gb discs are much more expensive than 8,8gb disc's
and i'd go for the cheaper one because why wud i need a 46gb disc if dont have anything to put on it to fill it all up

That has a lot to do with hardware and an IMMENSE amount of coding.

Well think of it this way - 20 years ago people would have thought 8.8 GBs was an INSANE amount of space

but as soon as mass production starts of the Blu Ray the price will drp down to within 10% of DVD's, which translates into about $1.50 to $3.00 more than what you pay for DVD's

The price is expected to drop as the format gains popularity. Blu-ray discs may also be initially more expensive than today's DVDs, but once demand grows and they can be mass-produced, manufacturers say the price will drop to within 10 percent of the price of current DVDs.

The discs required to record high-definition video are priced at about 2,700 yen ($26) per disc. The explanation for the high retail prices is that the recorders are targetted for businesses and enthusiasts rather than regular consumers.

According to the Blu-ray Disc Association, the overall cost of manufacturing a Blu-ray Disc will in the end be no more expensive than producing a DVD.

Lol its hard to believe that someone will waste their time to build a game with such big size. So i dont really care if its 40 gb or 8 gb. UNLESS games do get really big in size like you said blade.

Can you imagine how long it would take to code a 46 GB game

X-Box rocks anyway

(not that i have anything other than my PC )

Wouldnt that mean it couldnt play CD's then?

And theres not really that much point in having so much space, because it will take game dev's agers to make a game big enough. You'd be waiting like 7 years for one game

Sounds cool to me but...

Xenon > PS3

spec's wise, anyway, I'm sure that xbox games will still have several disks, microsoft can't be seen to be copying sony, probably why they're doing such a thing .
