Forums - Sony - Sony had 'no choice' but to include Blu-ray in PS3

also cause of this format, which wasnt needed their system costed too much at launch and still today and thats the reason they are in 3rd place. using "blu-ray" as a scape goat is childish i think.

"Why? The capacity of the disc. Last year’s Metal Gear Solid 4 was pushing 50GB as it was. If it was on DVD it would have been a 6 disc set.”

Yea, case in point: FFVII was 6 discs, and gamers hated it. It is considered one of the worst games of all time because of it. We gamers are far too lazy to have to get off of our fat asses every 5-10 hours to change out the disc.

Now excuse me as I wade through the sarcasm I just laid out, it's rather thick.

I thought it was 3 disks... correct me if I'm wrong.



Umm, well it did help it win the format war which can help the BR group(which includes sony) make some bank if the tech really catches on, especially if it gets to the level of DVD market saturation.

As a gamer/gaming machine, I dont really think it has done anything yet. 7.1 surround is something only the most refined listener can really appreciate. Most people dont even own a standalone 5.1 system, much less 7.1. The 7.1 sound takes up a majority of the space in these games being released. I dont care for Blu Ray as I dont see any difference between movies and their upscaled DVD counterparts save for computer animated films. Thus far the size limitation between DVD and BR is not an issue, but that may change as the gen moves on. Few last gen games were bigger than 2 gigs and Dual Layer DVDs werent really needed for 95%. Of course you cannot compare how game are created today compared to 5 years ago.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Lol, propaganda.

This is like if EA said "We had no choice but to deliver what fans want! More Madden for all!!"

Well people do buy them, and I thought that it was established in another thread that these kinds of talks aren't propaganda, but rather PR and marketing.

I didn't established it, some certain other people did however in a certain other thread.



Blu-ray on the PS3 is the best thing that could happen for it. Games are getting bigger these days. Imagine if every PS3 game was similar to MGS4 being 6DVDS, thatd be ridiculous.

Bring a friend over to your house and sees your game collection, "Dude you have a sh*t load of games!"

"Actually its just 4 games" LOL

It's also the reason why PS3 will fail

Sure, why don't you tell that to the 23 millions persons who bought it ?
