“Nearly all Ps3 games so far”, is indeed too true. And the cause isn’t blu-ray’s fault, it’s xbox hampering the development. GTA 4 would have been so much bigger and better were they to use blu-ray’s full capacity, or even half of it. 9gb’s just isn’t cutting it anymore. It’s also not DVD’s fault. As PC gaming has always enabled the installation of more than one disc.

Blu-ray doesn’t really have much limitation in comparison to DVD. Killzone would not fit on DVD. And it’s a stella game. As far as i’m concerned one of the best FPS games out there got done on a BR disc (PS3 2X BR @ consistent 9mb/s) without the need for an install. Hence i’m unconvinced PS3’s Blu-ray is at any disadvantage.

It just seems like handing over too much control to other people. Guess I’m getting old when I say; I want physical representation of my purchases. I will state that it’s a good way of ridding the 2nd hand market.

On another note, the servers are going to have to be top notch if this is to take off.
And yes, I’m FRUITofDOOM. Wish could change my account name, but hey ho.

I really don’t like where this is going to.

- Playing games with a price per minute?
- Paying a monthly fee to play games?
- Server crashes
- Everything you do open to the world via Internet
- etc.

I for one would love to be able to indeed buy the physical evidence of my purchase. Perhaps this is just me being old-fashioned, but still…
If I put in a disc I bought like three years ago, I can play my old games for free (well kind of).
Will all games always be available at any time? (Sorry guys, we deleted that and that game, because we had a new one and our memory capacity is to small….)
Furthermore I hate monthly fees for playing games. I want to play games when I want and for how long I want. Somehow this OnLive gaming is not something I am looking forward to, but PS Cloud as an addon to the services of Sony would be very welcome.

Ah right. Cheers.

But still, I see lots of people getting on board this in a few years. When the internet pipes can take it this is going to be brill!

This could be viewed another way as the ultimate liberation, you will have a choice of brands like never before.

You can stream 720p, and that’s more than enough for the overwhelming majority of people.

Whilst I know what you mean, it’s not a fault with Blu-ray, just the Blu-ray player in the PS3 running at only a 2x speed. There are already Blu-ray players on the market with much faster read speeds that wouldn’t suffer from this problem.

Blu Rays can kick out info at well over 100 mbits a second so peeps will need big old pipes to stream blu ray quality films effectively.

Does that mean that in the future when the evil robots take over the internet we’ll no longer be able to play our Playstations?

I wouldn’t mind this if Sony would deliver the instructional manual to my door.
