Games coming on DVD now
« on: February 11, 2004, 11:15:12 AM »
As the news story on the front page states, FarCry will be coming on DVD rather than multiple CD's

How many of you does this affect?  Either way, do you think this is a good move for the future of gaming?  Much like when games went from Floppy to CD?

Insert witty signature here...

I just ordered a DVD combo drive from newegg yesterday.
I have an old DVD drive in my home theater pc but this one is for my gaming machine.

Also it look like UT2004 will have a DVD version

Beats the hell out of 6 CD's.

Hell, I thought that was gonna happen way back in the day of Baldur's Gate (which was also released on DVD)

I've been preaching the benefits of software on DVD media since 2000. It's about time something is finally happening!
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Come to think of it, the question should be 'How many of us have a DVD RW drive?'  :rolleyes

I do! It's a Plextor 708A Dual format drive that kicks absolute ass (or for you hostage, it kicks nipples!).
