Blu-Ray Storage?????????

a dvd-9 hold 8.5 gb.feel_freetwo

No. A gigabyte is exactly 1,073,741,824 bytes. The *advertised* storage capacity of a medium such as DVD (or HDDs) is simplified by rounding a gigabyte down to 1,000,000,000 bytes. E.g. the *advertised* capacity is 8.5GB but the *actual* binary capacity of DVD9 is only 7.9GB.

i think most of them would be due to uncompressed audio or anything like that

No, (well only slightly, about 4MB) the advertised capacity is 8.5GB with a GB being simplified as 1,000,000,000 bytes (8.5 x 1,000,000,000 = 8,500,000,000).

Actual storage capacity is 7.92GB with a GB being 1,073,741,824 bytes (7.92 x 1,073,741,824 = 8,504,035,246.08 )

Resistance for sure, which is about 15gb. Be assured, as games get bigger, longer, and have more content, the space that bluray provides is going to be praised by all.Spartan8907

RFOM and Motorstorm are ~15GB, twice the the capacity of DVD9 (~7.5GB).skektek

Motorstorm is 15GB?  Link?

A lot of the space on Resistance is just the audio stuff. They have so much space, they just used high quality audio.Mega_Mustaine

Again, there are two ways to count the storage capacity. I don't know which method *you* are using. Also it is possible, via overburn, to write data beyond a medium's prescribed storage capacity, the danger with doing that is that the data is out of spec and there is no guarantee that the next drive will be able to read the data.

If you don't understand the math then maybe you shouldn't be participating in the conversation?

Is compacity really that big of a deal?
black_awpN1

 yes its a huge deal espically if u want High def. high def sound and graphics takes up alot of room.  like how everyones talking about a gta 4 will be a huge map with all this stuff just because San Andreas was a huge map and it didtnt take up much room but what those people dont understand is SA wasnt in HD
