i was wondering when they were going to make it official..about time. This is great news, pirates are hating this announcement right about now..:laugh:
|
I hope this doesn't ruin the backwards compatability :mad:
|
Yeah That Would Suck if the PS3 wasnt Backwards-Compatible!!
|
Yeah god forbid we have to hook our ps2's up to play our old outdated games weve beaten eleven times. Backwards compatibility is over rated IMO.
But i dig what sonys doing here. Lets compare thier thinking to Nintendos thinking. Nintendo : Ive got an idea SMALLER DISCS ! Sony : Ive got an Idea....DISCS THAT HOLD MORE ! See the difference. |

Anyway, I have a question! I don't really understand what the Blu-ray Disc is, or more precisely, does. Is it something that will help prevent pirating of games? Eeks! Someone please explain. ^__^ |
regular DvD's that are out now hold about 4.5 gigs of data.(that's not counting those two sided gold dvd's). a single layer blu-ray, can hold up to 28 gigs.
double layer a blu-ray dvd and we're talkin about some really fat ass games for next gen. sony developed the blu-ray so it's essentially thier baby. currently a few big buisnesses over in japan are using blu-ray discs for data storage. hd-dvd's are most likely going to be used for the next xbox. they can hold about 30 gigs. |
Yes Sony has xbox 2 beat out I hope.
|
I don't really understand this move... I don't know of a single game that fails to fit on a single DVD, so why on earth would a games-console need discs that are 6 times the size of a DVD? I shouldn't imagine that blu-ray discs are going to excepted by the mainstream market for a long time (the jump from VHS or CDs to DVD was justified, but this?)
