Fool, do you realise that Nintendo made more profit from N64's than Sony made from Playstation.

Jesus, I just love fanboys does me.

You feckin moron I'm talking about the Resident Evil update on Gamecube. Please take your biased moronic comments to a message board that cares, we have no time for inbreds like yourself.

The only reason why Resi Evil sold well (yet was on multiple discs), was due to the fact that there was no way around it back then. No DVD, back then, so if you wanted a big game it had to be split over several cds. Same goes for FF back then. But that was in the past. There's a format out now called DVD which can hold really big games. But Nintendo thought it was rubbish and went away and blew loads of dosh on a low capacity custom disc design. Ahh but Panasonic make a machine called the "Q" which has a hybrid DVD/GC drive.... Well you could always get one on import, and waste a load more cash on a machine that wont be popular due to price. And even if you do have a GC, there are few native/exclusive games for it. Just buy a ps2 to start with and be done with it. You get CD, DVD all in, and it's got the most games.

The advent of Next Gen technology such as DVD has allowed software to be produced on one disc alone. The fact that Nintendo insist on going down the none standard format route does not mean it has achieved something original rather more that it could not be bothered or would not spend the money necessary to include dvd into the GC capabilities. How can any company in the technology business ignore the fastest selling format ever made and then turn around and say we don't think dvd will take off. The truth is that Nintendo were greedy and because they are custom discs they can charge more for manufacturing and production, sounds a bit like a cartridge based system I once knew..

You fool, there's a massive difference between movies and games, if they don't buy it then why the hell has Resi Evil sold so well?

Go away, form a decent argument, maybe experience puberty and then maybe people will care what you have to say.

I see that the new windows OS XP2 is going to treble in price, so Microsoft can recoup some of the 400million dollars it will lose this year and the 700million it will lose next year, this console will make us all pay in the long run.

There's nothing really wrong with multiple disk games.
So Resident Evil may be 2 disks, but does that really matter? After all, Metal Gear Solid on the PSone, Final Fantasy 7 & 8 were multiple disk games but it didn't do them any harm.

Hehe!

ahh yea but....
Nobody bought Video CD movies (VCD), because most films had to be split over 2 discs. Why should the public put up with poor design. Point is they don't, and they buy something else!
