Question regarding Blu-Ray

This question should be in System Wars.

You will only get a pro-Sony point of view here.

Well, with up to 50gb and more in the future of space on one disk, as games get longer, have higher resolutions, and include more content, the space that bluray disks probive is exactly what the gaming industry needs. People may agrue that you can just compress the data and all will be fine, and yes, games DO require compression to load faster but it also gives up quality. We can only compress so much data. Eventually, they will reach a limit which they we will NEED the extra space that bluray provides. In the "Coming Console war," bruray is "Where its at."

I dont think it really belongs in system wars. His question was directed toward bluray itself. No where is he comparing HD-DVDs to Bluray Disks. Bluray is one the main things that makes the PS3 what it is. Its a fair question.

Ok, so theres this new DVD thingamahoosite called teh Blu-Ray (HD-DVD is dead in my opinon.) I currently own a 360 and am thinking of getting a PS3. (gotta find over half a grand first) Do you think Blu-Ray will make that big of a difference in the Coming Console war? Is Blu-Ray "Where its at?"black_awpN1

Personally, I think Blu-Ray is 'THE' next gen format. The selections of the films available on Blu-Ray is far greater than HD DVD. Blu-Ray has the rights to James Bond and Spider-Man which are two of the biggest fanchises. Blu Ray can hold allot more data than HD DVD which in the future, that factor will matter as consumer demands more contents.    Thomas-Crown

I agree with ya on BR winning. BR has tons more support from the studios.

I think the PS3's 2x BR drive is too slow to be a real advantage for the PS3 over the x360's 12x DVD drive.

developers could also, in theory fit as much stuff off a BD(blu-ray) on a DVD. They just need to compress all of their data on the discs.Titus_WoWplayer

yeah is the only thing that's not good ...but for movies 2x is OK ...for game maybe not ..so great because 2x(blu-ray)is like 8x dvd ...i think thats why install some information on you ps3 so you can get ....less load times..!!

Beyond movies Blu-ray has already won the PC war.

People will be backing up to 50GB+ blueray Recordable discs in short order.

I think it's just a matter of time and it won't even be a very LONG time at this rate.

I think by end of this year general consensus is that Blu-ray is the victor.

Correct, but keep in mind anything can happen.  Like I said it will take a lot to overcome the huge titles that will only come out on BluRay.  Just remember though, HD hardware is cheaper and is predicted to still be $100 dollars cheaper in the 4th qtr.  This doesn't really mean anything because in the end, the software will sale the system.  I really think SOE got lucky having a good line up of titles in the movies + Disney full support.  Universal will not continue to poor money into HD if BluRay competely kills them in software sales this 4th qtr.  As you said, January of next year BluRay should be the winner.

well WHAT IF! Thats kinda what a theory is...and yes i'am young thanks :) hehe (note: i mean no offense in this forum, this just a discuss/argument, and hey you can say what you want right?)
Mabe tommrow Epic or someone might find away to have the exact same quality....you say as of now the future looks bleak in this, but you can't say what the future is, your just anlysising it no?Titus_WoWplayer
