When would you expect MS to go with built in HD DVD? Also you are right about more space less computing as it relates to compression, however MS has pointed out that all tho blu-ray can hold 50 gigs, there is no real use for that right now at all. And MS isn't worried about it in the future because of downloadable content. Anything that doesn't fit on the disc can just get downloaded. Also i think upon the first run of a game, some information gets decompressed and stored on the hard drive and is ready then every time you run the game. I think there's tricks MS uses to combat size issues, i know they are really on point with compression technology which is good i think because that is a big deal in the world of information speed and stuff. I don't know, just some thoughts...
