You've benefited rather than lost from 'console equality'. Honestly if there wasn't such a big stink put up several years ago you would still be playing substandard PS3 ports, or not playing them and missing out.

Also you're assuming that the games actually need to fill the Blu Ray disc, when infact most games fit just fine on a smaller disc. I once looked at the Xbox 360 install size comparisons when I was considering buying that console and most of the games came in under the 6.8GB limit. If they needed more space they would have filled out the Xbox 360s disc first, right?

and thats why im making a roar about it too. if im paying 60$ for a 25/50gb blu-ray disk why is my content removed and why is my files in a lesser format? also with richer formats and uncompresseed content it'll take more than 8 gb, why do you think ff13 had content removed and files compressed for the 360 and unnecessarily for the ps3?

You're still making some assumption that:

A. The missing content exists.

B. The PS3 can take advantage of higher bit rate content.

Lossless sound and less lossy video compression still requires a higher transfer rate and it may very well be that the PS3 is not space limited but transfer limited. It would take between 4-8* as long for the PS3 to read an entire BRD compared to the Xbox 360 reading a single DVD.

So what content was 'removed' from FFXIII? The games never came with the Japanese sound track before and they left a lot of content out due to design considerations. For the rest see above.
