The PS3 reads Single layer BD's at 9MB per second and Dual Layer at 4.5MB..... that's gonna be some amazing loading.....

There has yet been an uncompressed game that needs a little over a 50GB disk....... Wasted space......

It's possible for PS3's and other Bluray Players to read 4layer 100GB disk with just a firmware update, as stated by both Pioneer and Samsung [they've made said disks....]... sure the same goes for a 16 layer???

This is all great tech but we just don't need it for games or movies right now...... later on when BD drives are much faster and Cheaper [the ps3 is 400 bucks yet it's BD drive is only a 2x reader] then this tech will become more practical....

 

I was gonna say the SAME EXACT THING!!!

 

But can you imagen 30 gig mandatory install??????????????

 

PS3 has its ups and it has its down and blue ray is both.

30GB???? D=...... Um... sure....  When 5 Terabyte SATA 2.5' HDD's are 150$ and can read and write at 500GB's a second I won't mind at all XD

But yeah, I hope the Next SONY console will have atleast a 8x or 12x drive, they should be cheaper 4-5 years from now. These Magnatory installs are getting Extreme, to many games might start needing them....
