they better need it otherwise they just ripped me off for nothing!!! (they honestly dont need it for games not that much is even used on the disks but it is great for movies!!!!!!!!!)lions_rock_2008

yes, Blue Ray needs to win this war because Blue Ray is used on PS3, if Blue Ray lost, there wont be Blue Ray burners and applications for Blue Ray that hackers can exploit. Pirate is on the way, the way I see pirate is a good thing for Sony, not bad thing. Look at PS2 and PS1, because people can buy cheap or make CD and DVD games. As the same time they support the increase in size of PS community.

doesnt need blu ray? probably

but that also means we didnt need cassetes when we had 8track

or DVDs when we had VHS

or vista when we had Xp

or houses when we had caves

its the nature of technology, if we didnt need new tech we'd still be living in caves hunting deer with wooden spears

its called progression

to bad too many people are too stubborn to aceppt this simple truth.

They said that the PS 1 didn't need a CD player.

They said that the PS2 didn't need a DVD player.

Now they're saying that the PS3 doesn't need a Blu-ray player. They can kiss-off.

My 2 cents.

Even if Blu-Ray loses, it's still a great game system media, and it holds alot of information. So I can play my games without it having the processor decoding stuff on the fly.

There are still many HD movie currently available right now.


i guess people are misinterpeting what I'm saying.
I'm saying BD is a great gaming media, so it doesn't need to win a HD format war for it to be useful on the PS3.
Any thoughts?

It needs blu-ray to make larger evironments and longer gameplay and better graphics in games

who brought this topic back from the dead? lol

yes the games are on BDs

however when I started i asked if it needs to succeed as a movie format since it does games perfectly

the answer is no if the BD format loses PS3 will still succeed.

However now that we know BD is gonna do well there is no need.

Someone brought my topic back from a deep slumber or something

(this happened in Jan when there was a trillion XBOTs saying if BD loses then so does PS3)

i believe that some ported 360 games could be put on dvds to play on ps3 as ps3 versions are the same as the 360 dvd versions, it could save us some retail tag value. first party ps3 games im sure need blu ray, devs can chuck in all thier ideas without squeashing some out leaving more content, larger multiplayer lvs, clearer uncompressed fmvs and audio, behind the scenes, bonus mini games, LOTS OF EXTRAS!

ps3 can live without bluray, but on most of it like first party games and future games, its going to give us much more

plus i love having a next gen system and then a next gen movie player included for about 1/3 the price - its bliss.

I didn't bother reading this thread, and I'm sure someone else has mentioned this, but Sony implimented Bluray with the PS3 for bigger reasons than gaming capability. Sony knew the PS3 would sell regardless of price. By including a Bluray player in every PS3 they automatically have a huge share in the HD disc market. We've already seen the early results of this with Blockbuster's recent announcement that they'd be supporting the Bluray format exclusively. The HD DVD format wasn't selling while the Bluray was. Bluray sales are rising while HD DVD sales are stagnant. Sony's gamble has already paid off... even if the PS3 somehow goes the way of the Dreamcast, they now have a solid foothold in the next gen market and a very good chance at making Bluray the next major VHS/DVD type media format.

I think you mean Blu-ray doesn't have to win the format wars(which is fantasy, because it's pummeling HD-DVD to a pulp) for it to be a great format for games.

If they're seeing a boost in sales and are making enough, they may be able to lower the price of the discs. Winning the war will change many things in the long run.

for me, the ability to play BD is an attractive feature to me
