Some developers are starting to whisper about the fact that the use of DVD storage on the Xbox 360 is finally leading to capacity issues. A dual-layer DVD is capped at about 9GB of available storage per disc, and with the PlayStation 3 sporting a Blu-ray drive that is able to handle discs with a capacity of 25GB to 50GB; it is easy to see how developers can start to feel cramped with the max of 9GB on a standard DVD.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Gamespot: The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P is still our favorite PS5 headset, but there are several great alternatives to choose from in 2024.

greenberg said its not needed.
from what i remember hearing you don't get to use the whole 9 gigabytes
Theres an easy solution to that.
Use two disc's, or even three.
Theres no rule out there that defines that current gen games have to be on one disc only.
And what can fit in a blu ray, can fit on 2/3 dvd's, thanks to the fact that the 360 dvd drive has no problems reading compressed game data on the fly.
Compressed cgi is another story ofcourse, as compressing video causes a noticable loss in quality, compressing data however, does not.
fact imo lol
not really, its not much of an issue.
They can install harddrives for larger games, however the developer will need to pay royalties to microsoft for every extra disk. We all know how microsoft likes the exta $$. The developer probably wont be too happy.
Digital download is a good alternative to this problem. Though consoles going DD wont be a good thing for the gamers.
