What type of disks does the XBox 360 use? Is it jsut conventional DVD's (8.5GB)?
The PS3 is going to be using "Blu-Ray" or BD (or whatever its going to be called) which hold 54GB.
If the 360 does use regular DVD's how do you think this will effect it?
Its inevitable that games are going to increase in size and need larger storage media in the future. Increased pixels and larger gaming environments are obviously going to lead to larger data files. Are Microsoft shooting themselves in the foot, or will games not need to have such a large storage media yet?

I think I read somewhere that whatever they're using is double the size of what they're currently using with Xbox. So that would mean 17GB.
Ah, well thats a start. Twice what they have now will provide a decent amount of space.
I'd imagine they'll be using the HD-DVD format.
The HD-DVD thing might be scrapped tho. Sony and a bunch of other companies are trying to make one universal media rather than have two. Basicaly combining blu-ray with HD. Apparently negotiations with Toshiba may or may not be happening. SO noone really has a clue as to where HD-DVD stands at present.
PS3 sounds great until you think about the cost. All that technology is sure to cost dearly and in the end it seems all a bit pointless. As we've seen with ports from PS2 to Xbox, there really is hardly anything to tell them apart.
Play Spider-man 2 on both systems and I'm sure you'll change your mind.
That wasn't a port though.
I presume when they make multi-format games they make it for the better console, then downgrade as little as possible 'till it works on the lesser consoles.
I have no idea how they make games, so this is just a logical guess.

The Xbox version of San Andreas is supposed to make an absolute mockery of the PS2 version.

For most multiformat games they make it using the lowest powered hardware (PS2), and then convert that over to the Xbox, improving the graphics and the framerate slightly. They always make the game for thw rubbish console and then upgrade it, never the other way around - unless its a port of an originally exclusive game - think the PS2 version of Resi 4.
