1GB more for the 360


Well there will be a little bit more room to breather for developers on the 360. Turns out Microsoft is trying out a new disc format that will work with current consoles to give the new discs an extra 1GB amount of storage. Now I'm no programmer, but I do feel if I was, more space is always better than less in today's high graphic games. Also MS claims this will also help fight in the was against piracy on the 360 console too.

    I just stuff my 360 full of extra 16 gig flash drives whenever I need more space :)

    Still a big difference between the 360 format and the superior blu ray of the PS3.

    People still play games off BluRay? my 6 Terabytes laugh at you. Optical media is so1985. I think I'll go play one of DirectX 11 games off my Solid State Drive now. Oh what's that, you can only play DirectX 9 games? Let me know when you leave the dark ages and perhaps we could play a game together sometime ^.^

    I dunno about helping against piracy. The discs that are currently best for burning 360 games aren't made any more, so they're in high demand. If Microsoft switches to a new disc, there's probably more of them, and so pirates can use that new brand to burn games.

    Should be interesting to see the tech behind this if it works with existing laser in the 360.

    I'm happy that their making improvements to the current console instead of just coming out with a new one.

    1 gig of added space is nice to have, as my Xbox is nearly full of stored games and movies. I'm reading that the 360 is also having piracy problems due to being cracked, so maybe this will give them an edge to stop the piracy. Personally, I just like the idea of extra space for my console. :)

    can't really see the practicality of only one gig.

    @Doomsday: Stone age-mode, floppy drive all the way on my server. Can't be bothered to put in a DVD reader as I never use discs anyways.

    They should make a console with windows on it that doubles as web browsing computer or a console.

    probably just means more levels or detailed textures, not much more. ME2's DLC arrival takes about that much by itself. Also, I need $upport, just sayin. :(

    I think that it's impossible. The old readers probably won't read new type of discs.
