Not trying to start an arguement, but CD-ROM's can hold 680MB. With 
compression, make that a few gigs. DVD's can hold a good few gigs. And it 
only costs CD pressing plants a few cents each to make them. If you like 
elda
being on DD, just imagine what it would be like on a DVD! :)
Another marketing ploy by Nintendo thats bound to fail.
