    How will this work out on the PC side?
    Since all pc games are installed onto the hard drive, how is the install size and image quality going to be on that.? I mean, I cant see id selling a game that takes up 1tb of disk space on someones machine, so they are also going to have to shrink the game down to fit onto the dvd format. They are already talking about wanting to do 3 dvd's which is roughly 25gigs of data that would sit on your hard drive in pc form. Thats a lot of hard drive space for a game.
