Br = no load times in Uncharted, the whole world is streamed of the disk.

ahh can your dvd-9 do it, um NO.

More importantly, does my DVD-9 need to do that, um NO.

it CANT do it, cause of its lack of space.

no one wants loads times.

But is it an absolute necessity at this point in gaming that there be no load time what-so-ever? No. A luxury is a luxury, not a necessity. And while we'd all like faster loading games, I think most gamers can live with DVD-9. The real issue here isn't what Blu-Ray can do better but whether or not Blu-Ray is an absolute necessity or just an expensive luxury.

Is a wiimote really a necessity?  No.  Please stop diminishing great features.
