Sony - PS3 games on DVD? - View Post

I mean, why not?   I got Prince of Persia for the PS3, and it rocks.  Before my first playthrough, I had to wait for a 2g install to take place.  It was only that one time, but I got to thinking:   If the PS2 could play CD based PS2 games and DVD based PS2 games, can the PS3 play DVD based PS3 games?  I don't know jack about video game programming, but I figure it's possible.  Maybe they'd read off the disc faster too (eliminating the need for installs?)

 

discuss?

 

The trouble is that PS3 drive doesn't read DVD's any faster than BR's so it wouldn't help at all.
