Well the last games I've played were DragonShard (1 DVD), Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy (1 DVD), Guild Wars (2 CDs), FEAR (1 DVD, barely filled up with lots of extra stuff) and Oblivion (1 DVD)...
And till about a year, year-and-a-half ago, PC games insisted coming out on 4-5 CDs (Psychonauts, Sims if I'm not mistaken) rather than one DVD... I guess I'm viewing it too much from the PC side...:)
But I still can't imagine what would fill up 20 gigs... I'd say that they will be filling that out just to show-off the engine capabilities etc., rather than put useful gameplay time in that...
Well yes, that all makes sense... but how are they doing anyone any good by being *slower* than current SLI/Crossfire setups? That's not a really good show-off...
Yeah, but when you're making fun of people, no-one can come up, say "dude, but my SLI/Crossfire set-up is faster (and 2 times cheaper) than your quadriple-quantum-field-holographic one" and make you feel like you've been poked in the eye.
Well, if you make fun of people, they might actually come up to you and *really* poke you in the eye, but that's another matter...
"...Nvidia GeForce 7900 quad SLI is not faster than ATI Radeon X1900 XT CrossFire (which is known for high performance in high resolutions and with FSAA) across the board and may even lose to dual GeForce 7900 GTX setup."

HD-DVD? Blu-ray? Games?
Games nowadays barely fill up a single DVD (and a large percentage still comes on 1-2 CDs), what are we talking about here?
Haha, you just gotta love that kind of people...

So... can anyone explain *what's the point* then?
