Blu-Rays may not be big enough for Square-Enix

With firmware it can read more than 2 layers, however nothing right now actually uses these disks so it hasn't been done. Also there are Blu-Ray disks with a standard capacity of 33.4 GB's per layer, which the PS3 already can read due to firmware update. So the PS3 as it sits with the latest firmware supports a 66.8 GB Blu-Ray disk. Not enough for Square? Yea right. If Sony even gets a whiff that someone wants to release a 2 disk game, a new firmware update will come out to support more. Problem is with these disks to why they aren't used, they are EXPENSIVE and it's that simple.

The problem with requiring a firmware update is that you can't update the firmware via the disc, because the disc can't be read. So while those who have their systems connected to the net are fine, those whose PS3 remains offline cannot get the firmware update.

Keep in mind that I said nothing about this in my last post for a reason, though - I was simply pointing out that, in discussing it, all the information should be presented. Yes, there are BluRay discs that go bigger than 50 GB. But most BluRay drives, including the ones in a PS3, cannot currently read those discs, and that's a relevant fact. Once you acknowledge all of the facts, opinions on whether it's feasible or not becomes fair.

People often say "there's no such thing as a wrong opinion", but it's false. Opinions based on wrong or incomplete facts can very much be wrong.

But the topic is about next gen games not the PS3...
