I game on a 50" HDTV with 5.1 dolby surround wahahahahahahaha

I don't think anyone would really care to get up and change the disc, but that is not the point really, the point is that there is available technology that can make those four DVD's fit into one bluray/HDDVD disc so the reason you are getting up is simply because of the lack of vision on behalf of the manufacturer.

Your examples are also flawed since they fail to take into account the fact that at the time PC games were made into several CD's that was the best technology available, or at least the more widespread, since no one really has control over hardware and what people had on their machines; you could at least conut on them having a cd rom drive. In this case MS does have control over hardware so I fail to see your point.
