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.

Isn't a DVD9 1/3 of a single layer Bluray or 1/6 Of a double layer br???

Just wondering :P


One DVD layer is just under 1/5 the capacity of a single blu-ray layer. It's still less of a leap than over CD-ROM, which had nearly seven times the capacity on a single DVD layer.


Oh yes, Single layer DVDs are just 1/6 of a Single layer bluray, but I was wondering about the DL DVD or DVD9... :)


50/8.5=5.88. Not exactly the huge leap of DVD9 over CDs (13x), or CDs over N64 carts (10x). 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

LOL, the original topic poster got banned because he absolutely didn't make any sense, this thread really fails. Gears is short because of the DVD size....lol

Come on bro, this game was not even suppose to be what it is today. You can guarantee that Gears of War 2 will be huge and have more to offer than the first.

Lost Odyssey is stored on 4 DVDs, this games could have fit on just 1 blu-ray disc because the capacity on 1 BD is their to allow such a big game to just fit, the same thing can be said about blue dragon which stores it's game on 3 DVD's, all I'm saying is that these 2 games validate the usefulness of the capacity the blu-ray discs have.


My opinion, is if you delivered those exact same games on one disk and not 3 or 4, it offers very little to nothing to the gamer. But where Blu-Ray really does make a difference, is it holds a lot more then 3 or 4 DVD's worth of information. If the creators of Lost Odyssey had the Blu-Ray to work with, I bet they would have delivered a different game. They would have cut less corners. I am sure if they were given the space, they would have filled it up, and the conumer would have benefited from it.

That's where Blu-Ray makes a difference.

I think your wrong. With BD if they needed more room they would of had 4 discs. And LO they would have had 5.
