It seems that most of you don't understand that uncompressed HD files (1280x720) can take up to 4 Gb per each hour in movies.

So 32 Gb, even if they aren't all uncompressed, amounts to 9 hours or so.

9 Hours for Cutscenes doesn't even amount 20% to the total amount of gameplay ;)

No, all the video on Blu-Ray is compressed, and the same thing goes for games. There isn't space or speed to store/read uncompressed movies.

Just for reference, uncompressed 1280x720 video at 24 fps would take up 63 megabytes per second, or 221 GB per hour!

 

My bad then, but correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't a Full HD Blu Ray movie of about 2 hours occupy the 25 Gb of Blu Ray space?

So, even if it's compressed 1280x720 video, 32 Gb should amount to something about 9 hours or so right? 

That depends on the amount of compression. As you can see here, different movies use different bitrates:

It seems to be around 20-40 megabits/s (including the audio), which is around 13 GB/hour as you said. However I don't know if PS3 games use the same codecs/bitrates.

 

Thanks for the information :)
