I bet they could compress than into mp3 format or any other compressed format and save 9.9 gb's of space with miniscule losses in quality. Decisions like that hardly justifies blu ray being the next generation of media and capacity.

What if it is compressed? O_o

Off topic: They wont need to compress it, if you copress something the quality decreases, why would you compress something when you have 50gigs of space to use?


 There's a very low chance of it be compressed based on the size and amount of dialogue.  It would have to be a really bad compression method if 3.5 hrs of music and some dialogue takes 10 gb.  Many LOSSLESS compression techniques can take 3.5 hrs of music and compress it easily into 100-400 mb's. 

 Keep in mind that compression does not necessarily lower the quality if the technique is good.  As for why wouldn't you compress something, that's true to a degree but I just feel that its inefficient and wasteful.
