Shazman Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 What type of Media type CD will the REV be using, The PS3 is using its Blu-ray CD and XBOX 360 is using Double Layer DVD's. Im guessing it will be using the same as XBOX 360 media, which holds around 9 gigs which seems good but is it enough to hold the games which will be coming later on in the consoles life ?
MrRon Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 The Revolution will take both vinyl and 8-track. For super 8mm fans, there is a rumour of a projector add-on, slated for 2007.

gaggle64 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Ha, ha, LOL. Seriously though, multi-layerd DVDs seem likely - even the largest PC games don't need more then a single DVD to hold everything. Though a Beta-video add-on could really add extra lifespan to a console.
#1cubeplayer Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I hope the Revolution uses Love. Can someone tell me about these Blu-Ray discs and multi-layered DVD's?
cloud_rules7777 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Lets hope that it will use HD-DVD people!
system_error Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I doubt it will be HD-DVD unless it would be really cheap and Nintendo gets a good deal for drives. Otherwise Nintendo will use some custom DVD format probably less storage than a dual-layer DVD but that is Nintendo.
harribo Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 It will be a propriety(sp) format according to nintendo
xanikseo Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I think it will use cartridges. errr. no. It'll probably be double-layer DVDs because Blu-Ray is copyrited by Sony. I think
Keit Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 i thought the rev was using blu-ray? It isn't. "Stupid letters just cause "It isn't" was too short, bullshit"
Darv Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 i thought the rev was using blu-ray? Blu-ray is Son'ys format. There's no chance of it being in the Rev.
Cube Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Panasonic are part of the Blu-Ray team. Panasonic make GC disks.
system_error Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Wasn't it Matsuhita which build the DVD drive of the Gamecube and therfor made the GC mini disks? I mean Panasonic made the Panasonic Q which could play regular DVDs (movies only of course).
Shazman Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 Here is a good site for those unsure on HD DVD and BLU-RAY http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000623059130/
DCK Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 It'll either be DVD-9s or some custom format made by Panasonic. Don't expect more than 12 GB though.
system_error Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 system_error Matsuhita = Panasonic Ah thank you I wasn't aware of that - thought they are standalone but working together.
