So what your telling me is that your going to take the word of highly biased Sony first-party developers over those of Microsoft's and third-party developers? Any reason for that?
And do you want to actually deal with some of the facts I posted? Or are you conceding that I was right about all of them?;)
If you are conceding that, I'd say what you just posted is fairly debunked. |
My god, the fanboy talk is thick with this one. So your telling me that more media storage means nothing? If that's the case, the 360 should never have put a DVD drive in it. It should have just stuck with CD. The DVD drive is only has about 15x the storage of a CD, yet all data can be compressed 100x. DVD = stupid then right? Come on, more storage space = beter for gamers. I could understand if it was slower (and it's not), or if it had some other fault, like susceptible to shock or something, but to have practically the same delivery mechanism, yet gain over 5x the storage space = very good thing. You just hate it because it's in a Sony product. If MS had 5x the delivery medium, you would love it. The other things you bring up have absolutely nothing to do with Blu-Ray. We can debate those all you want, but to somehow say because they exist, 50gig storage means nothing? Come on. Unless Microsoft is paying you, it's time to stop the PR campaign. |
Actually I have every intention of buying the Sony product we are discussing. What I don't like about Blu-Ray is the fact that for a questionable technological 'advancement' (the PS3's BR drive has a slower read speed than the 360's DVD9), the price of a PS3 was driven up $200 and developers have taken massive hits on profits and massively increased development times to get even mediocre games out on the system. |
For most real world applications, the BR is faster then the DVD drive in the 360. The only time it's not is for DVD-5, and almost no 360 games are on DVD-5 (most are on DVD-9).

Also, to achieve that speed on the DVD, you need a very loud, unreliable device. Aside from RRoD, the DVD failing is the number one issue with the 360. It has also ruined many many games. (bump the 360 with a disk spinning, and it's "good by game")
The slow release time for games has nothing to do with BR, and everything to do with the CELL (more to do with Sony's crappy development tools).
Better development tools can (and have) been made. DVD will always be DVD.
