Xbox 360 DVD max size is just under 7 gigabytes.
It would take 6 or so 360 disc just to fit the game data. And that doesn't include all the data you have to duplicate across discs that needs to be accessed during gameplay and can't fit in memory.
In other words, ain't gonna happen. Ever.
""a key part" of their strategy, to eliminate big third-party exclusives"
Talk about making a complete fool out of yourself...
* True sequel to the Metal Gear Solid franchise exclusive for Sony.
* Biggest exclusive in gaming - the successor to the GTA franchise from Rockstar, Agent - exclusive for Sony
* Next Final Fantasy game - exclusive for Sony
So to sum up what Shane Kim is saying about Microsoft's conso...

Sony/PSN wins.
So basically Xbox owners are paying money to get a crappier PSN.
Sony's free PSN lets me get a 180MB file in just two seconds.
Isn't that fun just making up crap?
The point is moot. Download speeds were tested by a gaming site and Sony's PSN won. End of story. Silly little stories from Xbox fans trying to justify the stupid 50 dollar a year online charges mean nothing.
PSN downloads saturate my Net connection every single time.
One of the gaming sites this past year did download tests from PSN and Microsoft's and PSN was the fastest of the two.
The only reason you ever hear about PSN speeds is from people trying to justify the inane 50 dollar a year online fees from Microsoft.
"It deserves it, the game is soooooooooo good."
It really is so good. Having played all of the Sucker Punch Sly games I knew it was going to be good. But not this good. Almost done with my second playthrough doing Evil. Shocked to look at my saves and see I've been playing this game non-stop for two weeks straight. About the only minor critique of the game for me was a couple of the side missions being repeated. Other than that Sucker Punch absolutely nailed it with inF...
You mean you've never played them? Or you just don't know how to describe them?
Edit: Do want too.

Here is all you need to know about gamesradar.com:

Why they are trying to spread lies and do damage control over Sony's amazing E3 2009 conference should be obvious.
"It's easy to impress stupid people."
In this case it's more a case of easily impressing desperate people.
If you would have gone back three years ago and posted that all Microsoft had to hype from their E3 2009 show was EyeToy style motion controls you would have been laughed at as a stupid troll.
What else is there to hype from Microsoft's E3? Crackdown 2? The fake Metal Gear game that Kojima has disowned and has nothing to do with is too emb...
"You Ps3 fanboys can hate on it as much as you want"
Love it!
No one is hating on it, everyone is laughing at it and Microsoft's retarded attempt at fooling the gaming world with old EyeToy style tech and faked demos.
Something isn't innovative just because your company has nothing else to hype.
It should be obvious why Nintendo turned this junk down that Microsoft is now trying to fool the gaming world with.
Project Natal == Project Fake
Cell annihilates the junk x86 crap Intel and AMD are putting out. Sorry.
That's why Intel is desperately rushing out the door their half-assed copy of IBM/Sony/Toshiba's Cell type design, Larrabee. Microsoft would be getting humiliated by Cell/PS3 even worse if the Xbox was still stuck with an outdated x86 chip.
The junk Intel is putting out was so bad Microsoft went through the incredibly painful process of dumping x86 for PowerPC even though the vast majority of Xb...
It will be amazing to see what Rockstar's A team can do with the most powerful console. It will be Rockstar's first real next gen game after having to suffer with the stupid 7 gigabyte 360 DVD format, lack of standard harddrive and wimpy graphics hardware downgrading their vision.
They must be breathing a sigh of relief and filled with exhilaration to be completely focused on the most amazing console ever made.
The start of the demo seemed very average to me. And then it just got better and better as they showed off the mod tools.
Probably won't have the same broad appeal and huge sales as Little Big Planet. The name of the game and art style and more realistic weapons most likely aren't going to be as friendly to female gamers the way LBP is.
Regardless it looks to be a fantastic title.
Nintendo C
Sony A-
Microsoft D
Nintendo did all right. Better than last year. Too much more of the same.
Sony, of course, dominated with what matters most - exclusive games. Multiple megatons, GoW3 live demo, UC2 live demo, amazing lagfree 256 player MAG live demo. Too much time wasted on AC2. Price cut would have earned them an A. FFVII remake A+.
Microsoft got humiliated like no other company in E3 history. Their one 'big' game gets disowne...
"Gameplayer has the inside word that this is more than just a possible sign of tension between Hideo Kojima and Sony"
Yes, that's why Kojima walked out on stage at the Sony conference, made sure the translator got what he was saying EXACTLY right, and made it crystal clear to everyone that he has nothing to do with MGS: Rising, that MGS: Rising isn't a real Metal Gear game, that he is intimately involved with Peace Walker, that it is a real Metal Gear game.

The PS2 used dual layer DVDs last gen.
The Xbox 360 has 6968MB of usable disc space - not even 7 gigabytes, significantly smaller than the PS2 had last gen.
Anything you need correcting about?
Already denied on the Atlus boards.
You don't even know that the 360 has some 1.5 gigs or so of useless security or something that wastes a good portion of the disc. Boggle.
Yep, welcome to three years ago. The 360 has less storage space per disc than the PS2 and Xbox had last gen.
"Also I dont think he realizes that the trophies are carbon copies of achievements. "
Or that achievements are carbon copies of Sony's Skill Points from the Spyro the Dragon games from the late 1990s...
