The Biggest Flip Floppers on Earth? (RAGE)

Personally, I smelled BS when I read the line about 'royalties per disk to microsoft'. The royalties come from the licensing of the game on the system, not the amount of discs. Otherwise they would be paying those same royalties on the PC version since the PC version STILL is running a microsoft OS and they're still paying royalties to MS.

More than likely, the guy was talking out his a-double-dollar-sign because, if you hadn't noticed, bashing Microsoft is definitely en-vogue these days.

Also, I wonder how much of an issue the 2/3 disc thing is considering OTHER games are multi-disc and with the new "Xbox Experience" users can do HDD installs.

The video quality issue certainly is a concern. Then we get into the whole 'naked eye' thing, where I have a picture that is of a much lower resolution and higher compression that loads fast but is technically worse than a higher res image; but telling the difference is impossible at the level most people will view it.

And, I've noticed the PS3 taking a while to load when it seems (to me) that it should be MUCH faster.

Still, I always take software developers with a grain of salt. I've known too many of them, and they always jump at the chance to criticise the OS or hardware manufacturers for theirr product not working as it should when the real problem is their own sloppy code.
