Yeah I have to agree, I am hoping developers begin to advertise more than just great graphics. I was watching a video of a game at Walmart the other day, I think it was Motor Storm. Sure it had great graphics and all, but what really caught my attention was the cars falling apart on the track, parts going everywhere. I think even with less graphics, the game would be great fun to play, with such things happening.
I think the significance of having larger media space will be much less significant this time around. Consider the fact that, before CDs were released, some games came on 10 or more floppy disks. CDs lifted a restriction which developers were having to work around. Developers are still getting by just fine with the space allowances of DVDs. And, on the subject of streaming media, if reading a blu-ray disk is significantly slower than reading from a DVD, streaming media may not be very feasible.
