That's where the new Blu-Ray discs'll come into use.
The largest official memory on the disc so far is 100gb. It's rumoured that Sony and a few other companies ar developing a 200GB disc with a scratch-resistant Teflon Coating.
Just imagine what you could do with GTA on one of those babys. Takes years to develop, but damn, it'll be worth it. GTA: Europe. Let's all drive to Britain and hunt down Lenny! YAY!
Yeah aren't the 250gig discs HD dvd? (*Don't know whos using them, but I thought I read that somewheres)

I don't really know much about HD DVD discs. But I'm pretty sure that at the moment both formats are limited to only 50gb or below. The 100gb and 200gb versions of the Blu-Ray disc are still in development, and I haven't heard anything about a 250gb HD DVD disc.
If you come across an article about it please could you post it?
I've seen reviews that said the HD DVD was higher quality or something of that matter, but there's gonna be bias everywhere on this battle ...not that there should be a battle although I do like to have a physical copy of my data ...especially stuff I buy,.
The problem is that the Blu-Ray hasn't been out long enough, nor used for long enough to be able to end arguments.
With so many companies backing it though, HD DVD are going to have a real struggle to beat it. And also, with so many companies (a lot of electronic companies and the like) backing it, they'll be so many Blu-Ray players and whatnot made over the next few years.
I honestly think that Blu-Ray is going to be the next big thing. It went from VHS, to CD-ROM, to DVD-ROM.
The interesting thing is that Sony backs many of these developing products, and look where it leaves them!
I really REALLY hope the product with the least copyright protection wins out ...not that that'll be the case but yea . I want free games ;_;. Oh well.
Oh yea, hear about Windows pushing for software licensing(sp?) Paying monthly to use your operating system, etc. Bunch of shit.
There'll be way around it. If they don't know you've got the OS on your computer then how can they charge you?
Take their validation thingy for instance. An easy way to bypass that is to have Windows Automatic Updates permantly off, and don't connect online until you're sure they are. Works for us. Should work for everybody else. And it works because they send a nice little ActiveX component down the line to you that checks the validity of your product.
Or you can download a nice little Java Script that fools it. Either way there's a way around it.
Who knows. They're probably gonna let everyone get around it and sue the hell out of them for 100,000 dollars apiece until MS buys a nice sized country, say Germany, and round THREE BEGINS!

Even still 50gigs+ is a RIDICOLOUS amont of space for a video game. Considering all of the storyline graphics/gameplay loaded onto them, there is so much possibility that there is no need to hold back anymore.

Common sense dictates that with 128bit graphics, the data for the games will have to be more to be able to take full advantage of the graphics card. You wouldn't particularly want to play with 128bit graphics, on a HD TV, with graphics that you're so used to seeing on every PS2 game. You'd want the best you can get.
And yeah, the possibilities! No more games that only take a weekend of hardcore gaming to complete, but games that take 6 months!
