I have said it before and will say it again, 50gb Blu-Ray will do nothing but promote lazy programming, bad compression and pointless annoying cut scenes. Besides, if a 360 game requires 20+gb, all it would need is to come on two disks (as it cane read a dual layer which makes each DVD over 9gb). You then make the second disk inaccessible without the save that is written at the end of the first disk. Would this inconvenience me? No. Also, eventually games will start appearing on HD-DVD for the people who have bought the HD-DVD player. You will then have games coming in two formats - multi-disk DVD and one disk HD-DVD.

Obviously, I'm not stupid enough to claim the 360 hasn't got a disadvantage due to the decrease in storage space on it's media. However, it isn't as bad as everyone is making out (especially fan boys like Ryder).
