look there is already blu ray drives, and there are graphic cards with hdmi ports...so why not make bly ray games? look you cannot experience 1080p with a dvd9....only with blu ray through hdmi output......so why is there no blu ray pc games?planbfreak4evaBecause the size isnt needed. Also a bluray drive is just too expensive, and no one owns one so it would just be a terrible idea to do it. Bluray also reads pretty slowly, and causes dev's to place the same textures and things multiple times so the drive doesn't have to search for it as that would take too long. Theres no reason to use bluray right now.
so in the future...could we see pc games on blu ray....Blu-Ray drives are exceedingly rare. It was only just recently that PC games stopped shipping on regular CD's in favor of DVD's...

Not needed because most games dont have FMV cutscenes, they use the game engine so takes up hardly any space.
Plus the games install onto HD's much bigger than you get in consoles.

Yet another person who thinks this 'High Definition' thing is new. I was playing half life 2 on my PC in 2004 with 1280x1024 resolution (thats higher than 720p). If your monitor supports it you can go even higher 1920x1200 if you like (thats 230,000 pixels more than 1080p).
PC games don't run from Discs like console games therefore they can be spanned over multiple discs to be installed and run from the hard drive. You don't need an HD disc format to run games in HD.
The PC version of Call of Duty 4 comes on one DVD for the PC and yet unlike its PS3 counterpart it can be run at 1920x1200 native, no upscaling.

Most games support resolutions higher than 1080p. 2560x1600 anyone? Dont forget 1920x1200.

look you cannot experience 1080p with a dvd9....only with blu ray through hdmi output......planbfreak4evaLOLWUT?! *facepalm* You most certainly can experience "HD" with a 'dvd9'. Using blurays for PC games would be exorbitantly expensive and incredibly not worth it for manufacturers.

PC gamers were experiencing high resolution games before the term HD came about.

because there monitors are too small? i dont know but i know that high definition cameras have been around for a lot longer than high definition television and that is why films such as the matrix are being released in HD, its becuase thats how they were filmed, and the only reason that HD didnt make it TV earlier is because no one gives a crap when they are sat the other side of the room and the image blends into one anyway.
There's absolutely no need for bluray PC games. Games could still come on CDs.RK-Mara
its true, the only reason games are on DVD now is because its fiddly having to switch between 4 different cds trying to install something, games just arent big enough to warrant the use of bluray
