I find one thing strange. The company reported to need 2 or even 3 dvd's for "Enchant Arm". I must ask myself, what the hell are they trying to put on those dvd's. If you use the ingame engine ( that is reaching fotorealistic / cgi realistic with the xbox360 ), there isent even any need for big space wasting cgi movies, and even if you use movies like that, compressed with h.264/divx/xvid, they dont take up unreal amount of space.

I for one dont get it, how they need more space. Look at Oblivion. The game is one a island the size of 16km², with full voice for all npc's, and graphics ( and very large textures ) going up to fotorealistic. In a interview they stated that they even had space to wast, and are filling it up with extra content.

Look to me that Enchant Arm's developers made a few bad choice's in there design of the game. Unless they build it in 2d, now then i can understand it, sinds 2d has a lot of redudent graphics ( just the character animations are daim big ).

On the topic of disk sizes again. I know one thing, i'm sure as hell not going to settle for anything less then full & complete compatability of whatever HD/Blu-ray standard. I got a dvd collection worth a few 1000 euro's, and i'll be daimed that i cant see it in 5 years or so, becouse they stoped making dvd's & the "victorys" standard has no red laser to save costs.

Originally, the move from VHS/Betamax etc to DVD was a good reason to upgrade your video collection. The difference was "wow". But, i dont expect to go "wow" when going from dvd to HD/Blu-ray. Higher resolution, and more "junk" on the media. I dont need no interview, on interview. I'm buying a movie for the movie, not the extras. And i suspect other people will say the same. I know one thing, it's going to take years to switch people to the next media ( unless they force people by not releasing dvd's anymore ... and thats like comiting Seppuku ).
