Please feel free to list other benefits as you see them... Discuss!

 

- Having more disks per game gives the illusion of more value for money!

- Disk swapping provides countless possible opportunities for achievements!

(achievement unlocked: You swapped a disk in under one second)

(hidded trophy obtained: You put disk two back in instead of disk four)

 

Don't worry Derek, not all ps3 owners have a stick up their ass

Given that there is currently a thread questioning whether 360 owners want BluRay, I figure we can ask you PS3 owners a similar question.  Would you prefer your PS3 to have a regular DVD drive instead of the BR drive?

Think of the benefits:

- MGS5 will not be 100 hours of cutscenes with 12 hours of gameplay.  Kojima simply cannot fit it on a DVD-9 disc. - fuck yeah, good thing

- Next time you go to purchase a movie, you'll be able to pay for it with a twenty-dollar bill! (And, you'll be able to purchase any movie you want, not just ones available on BR.)

- Reduced load times - we all know this is not BluRay's strong point. - good point again

- Price cut! - who doesn't like that

- Exercise - You'll have to actually get up and swap discs for multi-DVD games!  It's the healthy alternative. - not really a big deal, considering you have to do this with 1-2 games thus far

I think you are on to something...other good things I can think about.

-Sony, who was a year late, would have actually had to spend time making themselves better than 360 at lauch, rather than jsut say "it has bluray, buy it!"

-HD-DVD would have won the HD war. Superior players and a more versitile format despite slightly less space...

 

HD-DVD was the worse format. It's good that blu ray won.

 

On another note .. Hell no ! why would i want to downgrade my ps triple. It's awesome the way it is now.
