Games Already Filling Blu-Ray Discs

Eurogamer reports that according to Sony's Phil Harrison, PS3 launch titles are already getting close to the 25 GB limit on Blu-Ray discs. He views this as a positive thing, and suggests that the company will up the limit on the media format to 50 GB sometime next year. From the article: "Harrison also responded to questioning about the claim that the capacity of Blu-Ray will be used simply to provide more high definition movie sequences, effectively filling the discs - and games - with non-interactive content. 'It's not just about graphics,' he said. 'It's about 7.1 audio, it's about speech, it's about having up to 1080p movies built into the game; it's high-res textures, it's animation, it's everything that goes into making a very rich and varied next-gen experience. Partly it's visual, partly it's sound, and partially it'll be down to gameplay benefits as well - more levels, more detail, richer experiences.'"

Nintendo may be a little shortsighted in is lack of support for HDTV, but at least they haven't forgotten about gameplay COMPLETELY (as Sony seems hell-bent on doing). I think Sony has gotten so much into this "we're building a media center that will dominate your living room" mentality that they've forgot to design a game console too.

Thank you Microsoft for putting out your crappy Xbox 360 system with less storage space than your previous gen system so that now we have to sit through five years of pointless articles like this one.

Thank you. Your presence in the console world is appreciated.

Dumbfucks.
