Wow?

Is this really a big deal?

I immagine the blu-disc release of the game will have stuff like, better audio, more languages, bonus content like the extra features and making of stuff, and the portability of a disc :P But "need" is a no I would immagine ^^

But this game was held up by the weakness of the 360. Without DVD they would have been able to do so much more just on the PS3 because of the power of t3h cell. Blu-ray will become more important through this gen I think, as people run out of space on DVDs

How many terrabites of free space on your harddrive ?

That should answer your question.......

They're going to need to start allowing downloaded games to go on an external USB drive if they keep this up. Of course, there's no reason it isn't possible within the restrictions they'd likely want to place on it in terms of DRM, but as far as I know they haven't implemented it yet.

why? just login to someone elses PS3 with your PSN id and download the games... not hard.

You can probably get a used copy for less and if you don't like it you can sell it to get some money back, unlike digital downloads. It's just a way for EA to make more money and increase sales for that games since buying used games don't. Digital downloads are bad for consumers because they can't sell the games back.

Woot, and I just brought a new 250gig hard drive :) Looks like burn out might be a great way to fill it :P

Yeah I'm waiting for FF VII too. I played the computer version, but that was ages ago and since then I've lost my discs. I can't wait to replay it, either a PSN version or a remake.

It's the second third party. Fatal Inertia a 360 title was the first.
