[quote The Executable code MUST be in RAM.
The graphical background on which you shall be able to zoom in/ out MUST be in RAM, what difference does it make to load it from the DVD or the Hard Disk except wasted media and redundancy?
The DVD shall be native to play sound tracks and movie clips at highest quality per data-memory-media cost.
You never run code from a hard disk or a cd directly, so the issue here is data streaming not running code. Streaming the audio music track data from DVD to sound card directly saves CPU time by the advanced architectures available today.
Streaming the video movie clip directly to the graphics card too would be fantastic when it is compressed, for example by MPEG3 or whatever is compatible.
Metal Gear was never at the same rank of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> to make a comparison and in my opinion it would never sell good even if they printed it on a gold dish.
I think that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> and the following Divinity II may be the best reason to push the market to upgrade.

What I mean is: very few people have DVD players in their computers.
Also about MGS2: you like it or not, the MGS franchise was one of the most popular ever, considered by most, the best stealth game ever made for computer or PlayStation. If people don't buy MTG because it was on DVD, the chances are that even less people buy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> DVD. How many people have heard of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />? Everyone has heard of MGS. We have 1679 registered members, Konami of America has 7958 users on their forums. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> Will NOT sell if it will be made on DVD. Besides, which game company publshes games on DVD?
