In two years, or there abouts, every tv station in the US will have to switch to HD, so for 3 years people would be playing 640i games on their 1080i or 1080p TVs they bought to not get left behind.

I wouldn't call that an edge, I'd rather play a PC port with a higher resolution than a low res console version of the same game.

Not exactly the same thing.
They won't need to use all that space at first, just like the first PS2 games didn't use all the DVD space, but now like you said there's games with 2 disks.
