That's great news! Its a clever idea to overcome the limitation of the disc capacity. I'm excited to see how it will work.

Everyone loves when they get to play on hi-res.. This is an awesome idea.. all games should do this...

Since reading data from a disc seems to be the bottleneck, and moving that data to the HDD for faster read access, I can only wonder if they can push it even further should console's be equipped with SSD drives.

I was thinking the same thing! As soon as those SSD's come down in price relative to regular HDD's the better.

Think the consoles only have sata1.5, so ssd will still be slower than it should be.

Hooray for high-res textures. I assumed the beta had scaled down textures, but maybe that's just how it'll look if you don't install the texture pack
