Even though PC can use bluray but doesnt because it is a trivial format, it will likely be 2 discs for the PC version aswell, which is also likely to be the best version. Just because you can fit it on one slow ass optical disc doesnt make the game any better.

Unless you get it from Steam which will have no discs. I don't even have a optical drive anymore. Waste of time, money and creates more cables I have to manage.
I love it when cows claim ownage on this. My personal favorite though is "the ps3 uses less electricity than a 360". Is that really an issue? If you can't pay your electric bill, you shouldn't be playing video games. But cows are right though cause my ps3 definitely uses less electricity than my 360. That's because I unplugged it and pi$$ed in the disc slot and set it on fire.

Well you're an idiot for wasting your money on burning a ps3.

Well you're an idiot for wasting your money on burning a ps3. Not really. Well worth it. As a matter of fact, I think I will go but a new one and shiit on it.

You should be giving $700 to Charity Organizations instead of burning those consoles dude.
[spoiler]
I know you're just yanking chains here, you really don't have $700 to waste.
At this point in this gen we should have games that span across multiple Blurays not DVD's. It's a shame that devs have to spend so much time and energy cramming every asset to fit into that archaic format. Don't tell the MS fanboys though. The 360 could've had a floppy disk drive and they would still lap it up.
[QUOTE="Giancar"]Meh, 2 discs are nothing Now, if you had to swap discs every time you get into an area That would be something to be angry for Total swap disc time combined still <<< than waiting for mandatory install :cool:
Two discs, double the risk of scratching them :cool: I kinda miss swapping discs, takes me back to the PSOne-era. If it's SP and MP seperated, it's rather annoying if you'd want to do some MP after doing some SP...switching back and forth... I just love lemming butthurt and damage control in the morning. :lol:

Total swap disc time combined still <<< than waiting for mandatory install :cool: It takes you out of the immersion, on PS3...you install it once and be done with it...on 360, as a 360 owner you'd need to move that fat ass out of the crater of what was once called a couch or bed, strain a few hamstrings and a few gluteus muscles along the way to your console due to the sudden increase in weight that needs to be supported, strain your biceps while opening the CD case, possibily injure yourself with cuts while grabbing the DVD, put it in your console and break your couch or bed that you fall back on due to the immense overweight body again. All in the while of being lifted out the immersion of the game. When you're done huffing and wheezing and got renergized by a 40z Coke bottle and some energy bars, press X to continue.
With PS3: Install and play away, you can keep the disc in there forever and finish the game without moving a inch from your position, being immersed in the game the whole time. It's not even know if mandatory installs are re uired.
Install roughly 4GB of data on PS3 and wait the few minutes while that installs, or take the thirty or less seconds to swap disks or buy it on PC and don't have to worry about any disks. :]

I've argued with Lems saying the reason that DVD was a big mistake from Microsoft and they refused. Now look at this! :lol:
It's getting out of hand now.

lol once again whenever devs have problems with the 360s ancient hardware its the consoles fault for holding back the industry. Yet when devs can't even get significant portions of a game to work at all on the PS3s ancient hardware its because they're 'lazy devs'. If this is "Getting out of hand" how do describe the current state of Dawnguard and possibly other Skyrim DLC on the PS3? Both consoles are equally outdated and running into problems on certain types of games. This problem at least seems to have a relatively simple solution.

Who cares? The once in a blue moon multi disc game somehow solidifies Sony's need to put bluray in the PS3? What about the FREQUENT longer load times and mandatory installs found on the PS3. How does that improve your gaming experience? Now, I love the bluray player in my PS3. I use it a lot, but that doesnt mean that it was beneficial for sony to incorporate it when they did.

On other rare cases, it has been shown to be quite capable at giving the DVD a run for its money and then some thanks to its large storage capacity allowing for additional content (free games), or higher quality audio and more languages. ;D

I just never got into it as I had a backlog too many exclusives and other multiplat games. And I actually do own AC1 and ACII on PC from the last summer sale, but haven't play it yet.

I kept my old PS2 games as good condition as possible but it still has scratches, can't believe lemmings are coping with a format that can easily get scratched and with a console that actually scratches discs.
