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....

 

 

I said that cause if PS3 was to have a 400 gig game than it would have a 30 gig install on HDD,Since Blue Ray is so slow it has to do it or the Game will lag.

To be honest Crysis graphics are not really that resource draining,If you limit View distance then im sure it will run fine on 360/PS3.

Besides i would rather have 2-3 disc than 1 HD format disc with a mandatory install,and waste my HDD space on 1 game,when i can use it to download extra levels or what not.
