Yeah and to burn 400 gig to a blu ray disc would currently take about a week on one of the very few decent priced domestic Blu-Ray burners out there.
A 4x Blu-Ray burner would take about 6 hours. 8 speed Blu-Ray burners are available (at least in Japan), they can burn a 50 GB Blu-Ray disc in 22 minutes.
The PS3 Blu-Ray player is 2x (Blu-Ray movies are 1.5x), so it would take at least 12 hours to read streamed data of a 400 GB Blu-Ray disc. With regard to a game it would take much longer due to seektimes for data stored on various locations and of course being overkill with regard to required data supply.
