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.

Why compress it when you have Blu Ray?

BluRay isn't a blank check for file sizes. The PS3's a little slow reading BluRay discs (it only spins to 2x speed for BluRay, although this slow rotational speed is partially compensated for by the increased data density) so if you go crazy with your game data you'll have to have long load times or cache a huge amount of data on the HDD.

In a month we will know if it affects loading times or not :s.

 Oh, I forgot to mention, the stuff I mentioned isn't really an issue for audio since it's pretty simple to just stream it off the disc as it's needed. But for other types of game data that have to be loaded completely it can be an issue. Not an insurmountable issue, but still an issue.
