i just read first part and his theory falls apart than blu ray is also used for games

hell metal gear solid 4 would be have 5-6 dual layer DVD if it wasn't for blu ray.

wtf... where did this come from?

EDIT: Ohhhh you meant someone else, not the OP.  Gosh it is so hard to understand all your posts.  Grammar much?  They only use Blu-Ray for games cuz it is included and has more space.  Had it been a standard DVD drive, the game would have been developed a lot differently to fit on a DVD or at least only 2-3 DVD's.  Either that or they would have created a format like Blu-Ray anyways, but just used it for games rather than try to force it out on everyone.  HD-DVD really should have won... it saddens me that HD-DVD players were sub $200 so long ago, offered 2.0 spec (online connectivity) on all models, were cheaper to produce discs for long before Sony's Blu-Ray... Stinking Sony had to bribe production companies.

You know, I agree with a lot of what you said.  But, to be honest, HD-DVD would be doing about as well as Blu-Ray is now had it won.  These disc formats were destined to be laserdisc-esque.  Just as audio before it, convenience is going to be the the future.  Even for gaming ...
