a hd-dvd holds 30 gigs of info. so game desighners have the room to make the graphics and environments that the 360 can handle normals 360 games are only 4.7 gigs

Yea... just imagine how excrutiatingly long the load-times will be when bloated graphics require 10+ Gigs to be transferred via optical drive through USB. Ugh... painful to even think about it.

Yes, these HD-DVD drives will be external. At least, that's what MS is touting at CES currently.
