When will we get 1080P as a standard?

What?

Within a couple of years PS3 games will run circles around what most currently sold PCs are able to achieve by that time. Cell and Blu-Ray are going to make a long term difference.

You are dillusional. 50GB is tiny in PC terms, as PCs already have TB drives available. Storage limitations for PCs are much higher than those for the PS3.

Name me a couple of 50 GB PC games which pushes modern PCs?

Terrabyte harddrives can be used on the PS3 as well, but to think the average consumer has a Terrabye harddrive is being dillusional. Have fun installing 10 50 GB games stored on more than 60 DVDs.

Like it or not future PCs are going to come with Blu-Ray drives before PC developers are really going to start using such potential.

So you are contending that you can add a TB drive to a PS3, after telling me its a standardized platform? Now name me a couple of 50GB PS3 games that are out now.

Yes, saying the average user has a TB drive is dillusional. Did I say that anywhere, or are you trying to deflect this argument because you have no hope of making a rational point?

My point is that the PS3 has all kinds of very low limitations, wheras the PC has much higher limitations. A 40GB hard drive? A cell processor? A geforce 7600 256MB? Small, slow, slower.

MGS4 (developer would have liked more space than is available on dual layer Blu-Ray disc) is soon to be released, I expect games like Killzone 2 and Final Fantasy XIII to use 50 GB discs as well. Even this early in the console's lifecycle games like (using 2:1 compression) Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction or Motorstorm are already pushing the limits of 25 GB discs. That more data than top PC games use.

It's easy to imagine sequels, providing more tracks, more audio, bigger games in general providing more graphics diversity or higher quality textures to demand more space.

40 GB is more than sufficient of tapping well into Blu-Ray's streaming capabilities, stuff will be temporarily stored on the harddrive, Uncharted for example requires no harddrive installation but uses the harddrive for this and likewise does Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction which only requires a 417 MB install. Play those games, they are some of the technically most impressive games currently available. But keep in mind my sig below.
