What media type will the REV use ?

[Shazman]

What type of Media type CD will the REV be using, The PS3 is using its Blu-ray CD and XBOX 360 is using Double Layer DVD's.

Im guessing it will be using the same as XBOX 360 media, which holds around 9 gigs which seems good but is it enough to hold the games which will be coming later on in the consoles life ?

The Revolution will take both vinyl and 8-track. For super 8mm fans, there is a rumour of a projector add-on, slated for 2007.

Damn, that's hot.

Ha, ha, LOL. Seriously though, multi-layerd DVDs seem likely - even the largest PC games don't need more then a single DVD to hold everything. Though a Beta-video add-on could really add extra lifespan to a console.

I hope the Revolution uses Love.

Can someone tell me about these Blu-Ray discs and multi-layered DVD's?

[cloud_rules7777]

Lets hope that it will use HD-DVD people!

[system_error]

I doubt it will be HD-DVD unless it would be really cheap and Nintendo gets a good deal for drives. Otherwise Nintendo will use some custom DVD format probably less storage than a dual-layer DVD but that is Nintendo.

[harribo]

It will be a propriety(sp) format according to nintendo

[Keit]

I think it will use cartridges.

[xanikseo]

I think it will use cartridges.

:indeed: errr. no.

It'll probably be double-layer DVDs because Blu-Ray is copyrited by Sony. I think :heh:

Blu-ray is Son'ys format. There's no chance of it being in the Rev.

Panasonic are part of the Blu-Ray team.

Panasonic make GC disks.

[system_error]

Wasn't it Matsuhita which build the DVD drive of the Gamecube and therfor made the GC mini disks? I mean Panasonic made the Panasonic Q which could play regular DVDs (movies only of course).

Matsuhita = Panasonic

[DCK]

It'll either be DVD-9s or some custom format made by Panasonic. Don't expect more than 12 GB though.

Ah thank you I wasn't aware of that - thought they are standalone but working together.
