Half the people in this thread have entirely missed the point. The simple fact is that at this point Blu-Ray has not been proven to have any real benefits for gaming. Don't get me wrong, having Blu-Ray in the PS3 may have been fantastic for the FORMAT wars, but it is terrible for Sony's position in the CONSOLE wars.
This is not about disliking Sony, or disliking Blu-Ray, this is about Blu-Ray being an inappropriate choice for the PS3.
And for all of those touting the massive disk space needed for R:FoM, look up the article where it was recently revealed that the devs were so incompetent, they placed the same textures on the disk repeatedely to use them for each specific level. The reason they did this rather than reusing the same copy over and over, is due to the excessive load times that are related to the PS3's small RAM and the slower load times of Blu-Ray. OF course the BIGGEST reason they did this was so that Sony could go "LOOK EVERYONE, 22GIGABYTES, I SWEAR ITS TRUE......"
