I doubt there are many games that have come close to filling a standard DVD without padding it with FMV and 6 channel soundtracks. It's all very well having bucketloads of fill rate and geometry crunching power but you still need RAM to store it. Nobody bothers streaming graphics because the seeks kill you. |
Thats true, there is limited demand, although I'm thinking that the space will be needed because PS3 is aiming at high definition and as such will have texture files that are natrually larger than systems such as Wii would ever need.
Although this is just guesswork i'm wondering WHY would you need Blueray? Movies seem to fit perfectly fine on a regular DVD, maybe you could put that extra features disk on the same disk as the movie but is that actually an issue? Game content? well like you said, unless its loaded up with FMVs (say helloe to the next generation version of night trap) its not gonna use that space (hell Oblivion is only a single DVD) Is there really any reason to even bother with it for another 5 years?
