Is DVD-9 enough this generation?

1. The only downside to the PS3's blu-ray player is that is only reads at 2x. That is not a fault of blu-ray as a format, it is the limitation of the PS3. Newer players will read faster. It is obviously the superior format compared to hd-dvd and dvd. How companies use it is another story.

2. Again, DL-DVDs read slower than blu-ray at 2x. Are you saying 360 games should be limited to 4.7GB in order to keep load times higher? They should have included a hard drive.

1. Well that's all I was asking in the first place, I politely and objectively asked if there were any future plans to correct the shortcomming of Blu-Ray and you attacked me. A Typical trend isn't it? I'm the one following the rules, then you attack me and start a flame war. If you had bothered to read my initial reply and given me this information, we wouldn't be having this trouble now would we?

2. I had never made mention of any such issues, I think you're arguing the wrong person Windbane, perhaps you should be arguing with the others in this thread? You know, everyone else in this thread who dissagrees with you.

 

Gballzack:  "It is kind of sad Blu-Ray's size is virtually useless in that it has to be filled up with redundant data just to avoid terrible loading times. Is Sony banking on faster readers in the future to avoid this 'catch 22?'"

Obviously, readers improve over time just like every optical media. However, the PS3 does not need to improve because on average it will be faster to load with the hard drive and blu-ray's constant read speed versus dvd 12x and the slower DL-dvd on the 12x drive.

Microsoft can't increase the 360's read speed, and neither can Nintendo increase the Wii's. The PS3 will have the best read speeds.

For your first sentence, refer to my above post.
