O.P. Shocked  Microsoft to stick with DVD for next gen console
I was reading an article today and compared it to an article I saw a while ago and I think this is odd.

Sony has confirmed the Plastation 3 will use Blue-Ray discs which are the same size as a standard CD/DVD, but are read with a blue laser and can hold 23GB of data on 1 layer, 46GB on two, but Microsoft has stated that the next generation Xbox (Xenon) will use the standard DVD format which can only hold 4.4GB on 1 layer, 8.8GB on two.


I tell you now - if PS3 has a disc with 46GB of max data and the Xenon has one with a max of 8.8 then I'm going with the PS3 - no doubt!

IMHO DVD is a big mistake on Microsoft's part.
