Why do cows think that you need Blu-Ray?

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is one of the biggest and longest games out there. It has well over 100+ hours of content. Yet it fits on a DVD9...

Heres the cool part, not only does it fit on a DVD9. It doesn't even take up half of the space. It's little more than 4 gigs.. 4.01 to be exact.

With so much voice acting, yet the game is only 4 gigs. Are games really going to be well over 9 gigs anytime soon? Well, they would if

1) They have over 2 hours of CGI movies

2) Uncompressed sound

But with the fact that compressing sound making load times shorter, and the fact that games nowadays games look so good that you don't need CGI movies, why do you need Blu-Ray? Theres only one answer.

For movies, not for games.

Cows don't repsond -_-

Oblvion was super huge and aweseom.

But I know it was desinged with DVD limit from the beginning so it isn't a good example, especially since it is a nigh launch game.

First off... no I don't need BluRay, but seriously, I'm glad I have it. I love HD movies, they're amazing. And with the PS3 I can get those cheaper than with a stand alone. I also have the HD-DVD for the 360, between the two of them, I can get any movie in HD I want over the next few years. No waiting for a victor. I would have prefered the HD-DVD in the 360, as it's a clunky set up as an external, compared to my PS3.

As for Oblivion, mostly that game reuses alot of textures and objects and character/enemy models. Still amazing, but not the best example of how big a game can be. If you created a sports game, with each player, not just the stars, in full detail, that would add up fast.

The point is, while DVD9 may be enough for right now, in 3 years time it may not. Multiple DVD's are fine with my, but there's something to be said for a nice all-in-one package. It's one unit, one disc. So do you need BD? No, sames as the sheep will tell you, you don't need HD, but it's a nice feature and I'd rather have it then not. 

I'm aware it's just a trojan horse to help BD win the market, but guess what? I don't care, BD's cost the same as HD DVDs, and the horse itself is pretty damn cool.

You asked a question then when someone told you the answer....You comeback is because it has 2 hours of CGI??

The fact is he 4 games... All of which would only take 1 BlueRay and has more games get made for the PS3 then ported the number of DVDs to keep up with the BlueRay will keep going up

LOL. Ill give you my PS3 and 360 if you can get 1 cd to play a full length 1080p HD movie.

And yes, blu ray movies are sweet to watch. Its like going from VHS to DVD. Its like night and day. I refuse to watch dvds anymore. I only buy blu ray movies now. Once you go HD, you never go back.

All I can say to the statment is you should really get your eyes examined!  WOW

So now that you have made this boring thread (like we haven't seen enough of these threads) , do you think all of the sudden Blu ray is going to vanish, well sir it isn't going anywhere so just deal with it and move on!!!

with more space... the content is uncompress, result in better quality.

I like high def movies and don't feel like spending 1000 dollars on a player.

I'm also a gamer. By combining both features in a neat, sleek package and subsidizing the cost, Sony has made Sherp a very happy cow.
