BR is not needed for games atm.

Reasons:

1) BR has slow read speeds so for games with large files it will need to plant them on your HDD not that great really.

2) Many games take up lots of room on disc due to audio and cgi. Audio is the one thing that BR will be greatful for if you have a gorgous thousand pound system to take advantage. But audio is also the easiest and best compressable and many games hitting (15+gb) are due to large uncompressed audio. Compressing these audio files will provide plenty of room though at a lower quality (90% of people do not have a system capable of the true audio sounds) so it shouldnt really matter for at least 5-10 years. CGI is more and more getting built from teh game engine with slight filters to improve it so the room for CGI is not needed as much.

3)Compression is getting better all the time and still has room for improvement.

4) Why does PS3 NEED BR when it has a installed HDD which it can use to stream large games. Why not still have 15-30gb games, keep DVD9 use a larger HDD like 200gb or so fairly cheaper than BR and use the extra saved cash on a better GPU and 1gb of ram coz 256 is not enough for video.

5) ...........could go on and on

BR & HDDVD are not needed
