Sony - PS3 games on DVD? - View Post

Here's the thing:

-CD was an established audio and data format before the Saturn and the Playstation used it...
-DVD was an unified video format (no war between the groups) that had already more than 3 years of existence and a lot of acceptance, that before the Playstation 2, the Gamecube and the Xbox used it (even the Dreamcast was about to produce DVD-based games)...

In both cases, Sony was just using a technology that they didn't need to promote because it was already accepted by the companies and the public...

PS3 on the other hand became the motor for helping Blu-Ray win the war against the HD-DVD, and then begin the climbing to be a successful HD format... Of course they can do DVD-based games (if they fit normally) but they won't do that because of the listed above...

Of course, the installs depend more of the developers, Uncharted is an incredible game with really short loading times and it has no installs...
