And that is on a PC where textures are cached for faster access. My point is that storage is not the solution to having high-res textures.

yea...i know, but i think you missed my point. what i'm saying is that both systems very well may have the processing and memory power to produce all the high quality textures in the world but if the drive cannot pull it from the disc fast enough, none of that matters. Bluray will have the advantage in that aspect and i doubt they will release the bluray with a 2x speed, especially after the delay they are facing.
and in regards to your comment "I can bet that there isn't 1 game that uses 9gbs of space that dual layer dvd9s currently offer for 360", yea no kidding. there has not been a game released for 260 with 2 discs. and no one is debating whether or not its ok for now, the question is 3 or 4 years from now when the system is utilizing 100% of it's power.
and also, in regards to your comment "Again, storage is not the problem nor is it the solution for high-res textures", you are assuming that super high res textures will max out the systems processor and memory before the max out disc capactiy and again, that is just an assumption.
also "higher resolution and more detailed textures" does not equal "photo realistic super high quality textures" or whatever your wording was.
i dont agree with you and i don't agree with fanboys, i'm just saying that no one can know what the hell they are talking about until we see the games push the limits of the system and that will be a few years, in the meantime i am keeping an open mind and suggest everyone else do the same.
