Gears of War fits easily on one Dual Layer DVD. Why can't Resistance or any other title for that matter? With the exeption of lots of Full Motion Video files...Blu-Ray is unecessarry for gaming. This is reinforced by new Titles on the 360 that will continue to use just 1 dual layer DVD even though the Graphics and such are at least on par if not better then the PS3.
Gears of War is a game released only a year after launch and it nearly takes up the entire DVD9, same with Oblivion. A football game takes up 7 out of 8GB, 87.5% of the disc.
There's still 4 years left in the console's life. Don't you Xbox 360 owners expect anything better? It's going to be difficult without getting into multidisc games.
The PlayStation 2 when at a year after release, most games were still on CDs, but now there are almost no PS2 games that come on DVD.
Microsoft's claims that DVD9 is enough are just lies. It will cause problems in the future. Large or even medium-sized games will be forced onto multiple disks or will sloppily have features taken away to fit.
