Blu Ray the most important part of this generation

This is hard to answer... I think it is important - and it is not.

Look back to the N64 days: N64 cartidges had about 64mb storage while a CD was at 650mb which is about 10 times the space.

Still games like Zelda 64 were just as big as 32mb (!!) and they still looked gorgeus.

So Blu Ray is not necesary but it can make developement a lot easier if you´ve taken the hurdles of the PS3´s architecture.

 

(I guess this post was full of spelling mistakes... )

 Yes and you also have to remember what was one of the main driving force between developers exodus from the N64.

What advantages cd had over cartridge no onw knew at the time but the devs were convinced they could use it. And if anyone remembers the launch games from the PS1 they were far from impressive and did not outshine the competition.

 This is why when I hear develepors grumbling (like the enchant arms developer) and they say they would like to use more space I feel that the time for advancement has come. It seems with the introduction of the internet, there are plenty of brilliant and experienced AAA game devs that claim that DVD9 is big enough and they do not "need" any bigger.  I mean I assume they do this for a living right?.... why would they say otherwise?
