What do you all think?

Is the 'option' of being able to plug the HD-DVD unit into your alread-DVD capable Xbox 360 worth it?

I think what's gonna happen is no game developers are going to take advantage of the added capability of HD-DVD because nobody is gonna wanna pay another $170 just to play the same game without having to swap DVD's out or something...

Seriously.

What is the big deal about Blu-Ray or HD-DVD on a video game console other than you can fit more data on the DVD so you don't have to switch DVD's mid-game or whatever?
