There are actually plenty of differences and both systems have strengths and weaknesses and it shows in their top tier games. No myth about that.

And even if Blu-ray doesn't contribute to the look of a game, I'm not sure if that's been proven false though, it DOES contribute to lots more content within a game. MGS4's main advantage was Blu-ray, so it does account for something, which does matter.

Regardless, the article makes several nice points, even if I disagree with a few other ones.

Bold is 100% false.  It contributes NOTHING to the content within a game, it contributes to the amount of content that can be fit on one disc.  I am in no way denying that MGS4 could not be pulled off in one-disc format on 360.  But it could easily be pulled off in multi-disc format, thus meaning that Blu-Ray in no way enhances the amount of content available, only the number of discs that content is packaged on.

Can you prove what I said is "100% false"? End of the day, it's not a "myth" that Blu-ray DOES contribute to gaming.

I already admitted what it contributes to gaming.  It allows developers to make gigantic games on one disc.  That doesn't mean more content overall, that is my point.  Is having a game on one disc preferable to multiple discs?  Yes, of course.  It doesn't mean that a multi-disc version won't work, though.  Blu-ray provides an advantage, but that advantage is not in terms of graphics or OVERALL content, simply storage capacity, which is still nice.

Yes that's about it....
