Man, all this DVD nonsense is annoying. With E3 nearly here I guess it doesn't matter, but a press release to explain exactly what the system will do/use would be nice. One big problem with any news you get from the mainstream media is that it has been edited by someone who may not even understand what he's reading. Unless you're reading a direct quote there's a good chance the news outlet screwed the message up during transmission. Even if it's a direct quote, who knows?
My dream: a proprietary disc format that is still comparable in size and price to DVD9, and DVD playback. I agree with those who say it's not as important as last generation, but I disagree with claims that it doesn't matter at all. Some GameCube-only owners like myself would be interested in DVD playback in their next console, and people who plan to sell or pack their old consoles may be looking for it too.
