Lots of Epic love lately....but only fanboys will argue that blu-ray isnt good for gaming

go blue ray go.

I love Blu-Ray so fresh and so clean,clean!

there were still people up to this point wondering if bluray was a good idea?

People who claim Blu-Ray has no benefits are blind & stupid. I could write a long article about it, but we all know the facts...

I dont know why people continue to compare Blu ray to DVD.. Thats like comparing my 2008 Honda Accord to my freinds 1992 Honda Accord.. No contest.. lol

go blu-ray!!!!!

SWEET.  The PS3 is certainly the console of the future, just sucks that they're getting their hat handed to them in the present.

Dude, this goes to again prove that the 360 is dead by now. DVD is too old and can't keep up with the games of this generation. Microsoft will probably have to release yet a third version of Xbox within this generation, cause the 360 is left behind.

Juz lovin' this b) Blu-ray disc debate.......Can't MS just admit that b) is beyond, Bill Gates have nothing to loose with all that $ $cha ching$$

Blu-Ray all day all night!!

Sony makes their consoles with the future in mind,Sony knew the criticism was coming but they also knew that the future of a console is much more important.

psn id: gingo.... developers rae finally seeing the light over blu ray and microsoft will be wishing they hadn't made comments about how blu ray is not needed

more maps!!! Wo0t!!!!1

That's RIGHT!  Unreal Tournament 3 has just recently become one of my most anticipated games of the year and I can't wait for it's release.

And you can't tell me everybody didn't see this comming?  Of course blu-ray is going to become neccessary! 

Blu-Ray is next-gen, why do people want to hold back progress, yeah I spent alot of money on DVD's, but before that I had alot of VHS's, people need to realize this, the 360 is just an x-box souped up, nuff said.....

I would like to personally thank Epic for not being lazy and more concerned with criticizing instead of spending less time in interviews and more working on their games. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to them that not only will Unreal Tournament III be on the PS3, but it will not be ported from the 360. That is all many PS3 owners truely ask when the day is done. Developers, just give it your all on the system and we will support you and we will give our money to you.

honestly i dont think we will see the need for blu-ray until next year some time. come on, only a couple maps difference, they will put them up on live. gta iv is still gonna be the same for both systems. so there isnt anything yet that cant be made on the 360 because of the dvd's size.

blue ray better than HD. we know this. wow, 3 diggs! hot shot aren't we?

I once heard that HD 1080p movies was about 1MB/sec, so games will eventually need the storage, and movies defintely!

"The often outspoken Rein seemed to seemed to welcome the extra storage space Blu-ray offers."

Nitpicky error.

Only an idiot wouldn't admit that blu-ray has a BIG advantage over standard dvd.

xbox3gypsy just cant handle the heat,,,, pstriple 4life

FACT: Blu-ray is the best format on the market.

FACT: Sony has chosen the proper CD format.

yay! :)

Is this really news?....seems like he is pointing out the obvious to me.

blu ray is good its good for gmes and movies hddvd cost more and you get less with hddvd blu ray cost less and gives you more go sony nice jobp.s 360 can only hold 8.5 gb i thought it was 15gb tell me som one

Bout time some1 gave blu ray some love, it is the greatest disc out there fir years to come

HDDVD holds 15gb(30 on dual layer) but they're refering to their gaming standard DVD9 (dual layer version of standard 4.7gb dvds) which holds a maxium of 9gb. Since MS has refused to use HDDVD for games they lost a huge battle to the PS3 in terms of not only possible avalilable content but the visual fidelity of that content unless they use compression to squeeze more on to a DVD9 but they waste more loading time decompressing it and they can still never hope to push more than 12 compressed gb on a DVD9 which is still half the size of a standard BluRay disk.

Man, M$ had to learn the hard way. NES game cartridges held under 1MB, SNES cartridges held 8MB, N64 cartrdiges held 128MB, Gamecube discs held 1.4GB and now Wii discs can hold 8.5GB. Same with Sony, PS1 discs had up to 700MB, PS2 discs had up to 8.5GB. But M$ fvcked up, because both Xbox and 360 has up to 8.5GB. Every generation, each system HAS to bump up in storage space...but M$ just wanted to "save money" because they are greedy bastards

Everyone read what faizal5k (post #34) said!  It is so true.  Major cool points to faizal5k for bringing this to light.  If everyone would look at the xbox360's name it would show just what Microsoft had in mind about their so-called next-gen console.  Here we go ---->  the 360 attached to the name xbox360 really means xbox 360° (360 degrees) and what does 360° mean???  It means when you are going in a certain direction and turn 360° you will be going back in the same direction as before.  You see the xbox and xbox360 are actually going in the same direction, the last-gen direction.  I am glad Sony has the real vision for the future of the gaming industry.  PS3, it's in the box!

well done EPIC, it wont be long before PS3 games are so big with so much content it will be amazing. True next Gen!

The funny thing is that devs probably had more space on the xbox dvd's because the 360's DRM take up about 1.5 gigs. There are 7 available to devs.

HAHAHHAHAHAHA gues what they cnat relase another console within this geration becuse the only way to fix this is make a new console that plays the discs that 360 which means all the 360 owners will go mad and it wont work hahaahhaahha they cannot make  mainstreeam 360 games on a larger capacty disc so SUCKS TO BE THEM

Even if Blu-Ray capacity isn't necessary, isn't it unfair that MS is selling games on DVD for the same price as PS3's Blu-Ray games?  You think that with a disc half the price of Blu-Ray, they would try to get the upper hand (while caring about their install base) and sell their games for cheaper.  Be we already found out they could care less about their console buyers.  RROD. And not just from store boxes, but from the replacement center.  That's sick, MS.
