Don't be ignorant, your saying the same thing that people said when the PS2 came out. Blu-Ray will be needed, like it or not. Sony knows this, and so does Microsoft and a lot of developers.

FMV is not crucial in making a good game, and is generally something a lot of us get annoyed at/skip over after seeing once. Also, game developers would probably have a hard time utilising more than 10gb of textures/code/maps, even with the processing power of the ps3.

I am sick to my back teeth with people saying Blue Ray discs will mean games will be better on the PS3. Better data compression, better ram, better forms of texture mapping. Those are the things that make graphics better, not a bigger storage device. Resistence:Fall of Man has very bland textures. Most PS3 games look exactly the same as they did on the 360, 12 months ago, So, please stop saying the extra storage space on a Blue Ray DVD will mean the games will be better.

M$ are teh loserzz. Second off, people are saying that games that came out before on 360, and are now comming out for PS3 are the same textures and lighting.. .. Are you out of your minds ? Go to www.gametrailers.com and watch the comparison of Oblivion 360 to Oblivion PS3. It's a little close, but PS3 looks smoother, and brighter. first off HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! M$ are teh loserzz.

The interactivity features are cool, but the combination HD DVD/DVD discs are the biggest winner for me. i can watch it in HD in my house, or take the disc and load it to Dad and still have it work on his standard player..... I WANT HD DVD to win, but I don't know if Universal, Weinstein, Porn, and a handful of independants can convince people who see an onslaught of BluRay only media from Sony/MGM, Fox, and Disney.

It's for more gaming content. Sony can fit larger maps, better textures and more code on a 50GB blu-ray disc than Microsoft can fit on the 10GB DVD9 that comes standard with an xbox 360. Long term, of course Microsoft will need to switch to a higher-capacity optical drive in the 360 for gaming in order to stay competitive. And when you consider that, xbox 360 no longer has any price advantage over the PS3. The blu-ray drive in PS3 isn’t just for movies. It’s for more gaming content.
