Large capacity media has more of an effect on the Music and Movie industries than video gaming. DD has it's place and advantages as does streaming HD video. For the most part, streaming HD video looks good, but it still uses compression to get the product to the consumer. A 1 TB disc would give a higher level of quality for HD video without having to use any or high levels of compression.

It's not a flaw in the film that we see the things that you mentioned, but I believe that Nolan wanted us to see that Leonard's long term memory was just as flawed as his short term memory was broken and was highly influenced by outside sources that used his condition for their own selfish purposes.

At the end of the day gaming should be about making a good experience for the gamer, not trying to take every dollar possible from the consumer.
