Will BfME be out on DVD-ROM?

[Saracen 16]

I've just read the interview and it sounds pretty interesting. But looking at the whole scope of this game and the fact that Harvard Mentions a whopping 45-50 missions, plus animations, skirmish maps and a whole host of goodies... that's surly gonna spread over quite a few CD-ROMs...

 

Does anybody know whether there will be a DVD version of this game? I have Unreal Tourney 2004 and the best RTS in the world at the moment "Perimeter" on DVD, and it's so much easier than putting 3 or 4 CDs in to cover a 2-3GB installation...

 

oh I miss the days where you could install entire games from a single CD :roll:

Hopefully there will finally be the massive migration to DVDs, considering how many games are more than 2 CDs these days. It's still gotta be cheaper to produce and package 1 higher capacity DVD than 2-4 smaller capacity cds. Heck, I've heard that the new Myst game is likely to be a multiple DVD game, and the first DVD exclusive release simply because it's so big that it'd need more than 10 CDs if it weren't...

Perimeter is a DVD exclusive as well

I'd like BfME to be on DVD as well, unless EA finally used *good* boxes in Europe which can store the number of CDs included (and not include the 2nd CD in a paper bag... that's cheap).

DVDs are good. The sooner they phase out CDs the better.

 

More capaticity = More content = Better games.

 

And I think everyone now has DVD readers if not writers.

Hopefully Myst IV: Revelations will make the diffrence and game companies will migrate to DVDs immediately. I'm almost certain that Half-life 2 will come on DVD. CDs are just too small now to accomodate everything they're putting into games now.

DVD's can store (most) 4.7 GB, some double that.

CD's only a max of 700 MB. DVD's are much better.

I also hope EA will use good DVD's, cus the crappy ZH CD they gave me suddenly have a big rip in it.

Damn, that means I must buy a DVD reader. That will cost a lot of money. Any suggestion for good DVD reader (which is cheap )?

Well you can get DVD Burners for about £50

Player or Burner, they're all pretty cheap and usually of decent quality. Just go out and get one, you'll need it.
