Ahh see your question was already answered like 10x over :) is it NECESSARY? Nope :) Hell some of the PSN games I've downloaded don't even span 100 meg ^_^ But after playing Uncharted, you'll realize a few things, first off the game can run 7.1 uncompressed audio :) A BIG bonus for me :P Second off, you can play the whole game using the skins of almost everyone in the game, massive feature? Not really. After unlocking some of the content, you get all the behind the scenes, concept art, mo-cap sessions, meet the actors etc etc etc. Hell I've killed almost an hour just watching extra's XD, after playing through this game and realizing that almost ALL the textures in-game are high-res, I go back to playing games like Resistance or Halo 3 and I simply wonder "what happened?". Blu-ray isn't a necessary thing by any means just yet, but if it makes me look at my old games and really get blown away by what "next gen." can truly offer, I'd say definitely, I wouldn't trade it for anything :) While playing a particular area in Uncharted, I literally just pulled myself over and couldn't believe what I was seeing was in a video game. I've never had an experience quite like it in video game history yet ^^
