Gaming - Gears on blu ray - View Post

Just read the article I posted by Insomniac. Developers can and choose to make their games longer not all the time but on no occasion is blu-ray ever a bad thing for the console. Putting a game on multiple discs especially when you have more than 2 is annoying and it drives production costs up. Think about it: if you make 5 million copies of Gears and each extra disc costs 17 cents you just lost about million dollars of profit which in the big scheme of things isn't really all that much but never is an appealing plan. And that comment had nothing to do with you and you have not disproved anything. You're joining the argument very late so I'm not debating with you anymore.

Have you factored the higher cost of a single Blu-Ray disk relative to a single DVD9 disk into your estimates?

What about the fact that Sony charges a higher royalty rate than Microsoft and Nintendo?
