Well extra space is nice but the slow read speeds have made some games go to mandatory installs. The discs also carry better audio signals like 7.1 audio which is steller and the fact that they dont scratch is nice if you ever rent games or borrow them out you dont have to worry. Overall it did make some nice additions but put a small damper to get them.
[QUOTE="delta3074"]blu-ray does not make the graphics better, the graphics are limited by the RAM, not the disk size, and most of the space on the blu-ray for MGS 4 was used up for lossless 7.1 audio, which i admit is good if you own a HD Tv that supports it.kolkov01
what you on about graphics? its shown its worth to gaming not improve grphics my freind 8) and how did it prove it's worth? it gave us the great MGS4 exclusive to PS3 8)
It's not needed this gen.... doesn't mean its not nice to have though.... at least making it popular this gen, might help with prices next gen when it will be needed.
only the ps3 needs it so it can store game facets over and over casue its less memory and slower drive needs it..daveg1
and here's the best post in this thread. The 360 has proven that (for the most part) standard DVD has worked perfectly fine. There have been very few games that have required multiple disc and games such as MGS4 on the PS3 fail to impress me with taking up a full BR disc. Before all you cows flame me and say that that's only because I haven't played it, I have it and lost interest after the "laughing Octo" battle. :( Graphically, MGS4 is NOTHING special and could've easily been done (probably better as well) on the 360 seeing how the 360's textures tend to look cleaner and more detailed. Uncharted 2 looks incredible, but I highly doubt that BR really had anything to do with that. ND is a talented developer and I really think that U2 could've been done just as well on the 360 given time and an honest effort.

Yeah but it didn't have to be on PS3. Ask yourself if it could of been done on any other platform (hint: the answer is yes) and then you will see that while it is a game many love it did not prove Blu-Ray's worth to gaming.
UC2, MGS4 And of course FFXIII are all examples of how BD has shown its worth to gaming. Worth spending about $200 extra on the PS3 with blu-ray than if it just played DVDs like the 360, and making the system harder to develop for which made many games exclusive to 360?
