I can't play MGS4 without buying a bluray player. I call that forcing it on a consumer.

Indy may have pretty trees but HD can't mast the lackluster story and 2 dimensional characters.

 

I can't play a Smash Bros brawl without buying a Wii. Why are Nintendo FORCING a Wii on me!


LOL. Good one...unfortunately we sometimes have to buy consoles to play our games.

On the other hand, I have yet to see what Bluray can bring to my gaming needs...other than longer load time and manditory installs. You'd think 360 would need installs instead as they'd need to pack content in to a disk to make it fit on to 9 gigs..

 

More content and higher quality audio for the most part. If you don't have an epic surround system you won't notice. But if you do then you will be very happy. Since it doesn't cost you anything to implement and only the developer can do it as a choice then there is no reason to argue against it.

As it is the blu-ray drive gives you more features such as being able to watch blu-ray movies. Yes it helped make the price high, but as it is that's a problem for Sony and not you. If people don't think it's worth it then they have market choice by getting either a 360 or Wii. If Konami and Sony have combined to produce a machine that can play the game Konami want to make and you want to buy it well then feel free to buy it. But there is little point in arguing against the blu-ray drive if Kojima has stated that he needs the space to help make the game what it is (Even if he still isn't happy).

Not every 360 game manages to pack the content onto a single dvd9.

 


Lost Oddisey is the only one I can think about...

In any case, like I said above...I'd welcome bluray with open arms if top model ps3 was 299-399 at launch. I see the features it offers. However, I am not made out of money...Sony pricing made me buy the 40GB model last month and not have PS2 BC beacuse of bluray. I'd love to trade those card readers, built in wireless and bluray and get the 80GB for 350.

I have yet to play god of war 2 as I sold my ps2 to get a 360 in 2006...thinking that when I decide to buy ps3, it will be cheaper and have BC.
