 The only difference between DVD and blu-ray is a different type of light reading the disk (a blue beam instead of red).

The talk of difference between the PS3 and 360 is up for debate (though each has striking advantages), but the difference between DVD & Blu-ray is substantial. Disc space for starters.

You know how Blu-Ray has more disk space? Blu-Ray systems read the data 5 times faster, so you can fit 5x as much data into the same space on a DVD. The disk is nearly the same with all optic properites. You know it's just a peice of glass bounded with plastic right?

If you somehow think the difference between Blu-ray and DVD is small, you would have it wrong. The differences go beyond the material they are used with. Just listen to any dev, the differences aren't small.

I could care less about the differences, one advantage blu-ray has over DVD is the scratch-free surface which I really care about.

^^^^ this. i love this. i drop my disk and move my ps3 all the time while the disk is in, and its always fine.

when gamestop 1st launched their game protection plan that for an extra fee, they would ensure your game in case it got scratched, i laughed in his face. i was like, silly clerk, i have a ps3.
