But the thing is, don't HD-DVD discs have more storage capacity than ordinary DVDs?

 

Myth: Blu-ray has more capacity.

 

Reality: Follow me carefully here, because the distinction I’m going to make does not rule out the possibility that Blu-ray will indeed, ultimately offer more storage capacity.

 

While Blu-ray is (theoretically) capable of delivering a dual-layer 25GB disc for a total of 50GB’s, the truth of the matter is, the Blu-ray (movie) titles Sony has shipped thus far are on single layer 25GB discs.

 

So in reality as of today Wednesday the 28th of June 2006, HD-DVD discs at dual-layer 15GB for a total of 30GB offer more capacity than Blu-ray, I’ll repeat that, as of right now HD-DVD is delivering more capacity than Blu-ray. That kind of flies in the face of everything we’ve heard about Blu-ray thus far huh?

It does, obviously. But does that imply that the game won't fit in a 9,5GB disk on XBOX 360? It may fit, or it may not fit. My point is: They used 4GB to San Andreas, that is a HUGE game and they still have another aditional 4,5GB to use on GTA IV.
