But it doesn't have CDs. So it's still not valid. It's still just assuming that they should either accept blu-ray or they might as well downgrade the format they already have. Not valid.

They have DVD9 on the system, so that it what you have to discuss. And so far, all you've done is make wild guesses about what limitations multiple discs would impose, without actaully proving any of them.

What? Now you’re starting to not make any sense. CD it so DVD, what DVD is to Blu-Ray.

Wrong. CD-Rom is 1/13 the size of DVD9, while DVD9 is 1/7 the size of blu-ray, so the size leap is not the same.

Any advantage moving from CD to DVD would buy you, holds true for moving from DVD to Blu-Ray.

Falacy. Game needs also have to be taken into account. A PS1 game would gain almost no benefit from being on blu-ray, since the system could not handle hi-rex textures and video.

The point here is that you are assuming that game needs automatically grow with storage. Fitting a game on a few discs is not proof the game needs have grown that far. It would take a lot more than that. When it gets that far, then you can talk, but it hasn't.

If there was an advantage to moving to DVD, there is an advantage to moving to Blu-Ray. How can you not see this?

See above. The advantage is minimal if there is no need. It would just mean more content, but that is not an advatnage unless the cost of that content would be minimized, and blu-ray cannot do that. 

You’re a smart man. I am starting to think you either hate to lose an argument, or you don’t want to admit Sony did something that helps gaming. I doubt there is any other reason for you to keep this line of thinking going.

You just really don't want to see my point. I am not claiming blu-ray won't be needed later on. I'm asking you to prove that it NOW is needed, and you have not done that.
