the change from the DVD format is necessary due to demands for larger storage capacity.

I agree with you smsmike I think that too, although not all of it is garbage some DVD movies do make me feel like the bonus features were just put on there to fill up the disc, those features were not interesing at all. But imagine what the blu-ray can do for gaming all that extra space can only be used for good. For example I read that in the new matrix game the path of neo you can fight tons of people at the same time without the game barely slowing down or having framerate problems but in order to have that gameplay the graphics and other things in the game had to take a big hit. I've never played the game that's just what i've read if anyone can correct me please do so. In the next gen of gaming they probably won't have to do that as much.

blue ray is a sony deal.. just think what sony virus rootkit corp can install on your computer using blue ray..while ye play those games.. my 4-cents.

@smsmike Well, Hollywood needs a new format, while most of the rest of us really don't. The Suits *have* to come up with something, because global sales of DVDs has now bottomed-out (saturated) the market. Some might say, even glutted it. You can buy first-run movies now at Walmart for way under 10 bucks. Hollywood needs more $$$, and the hardware manufacturers need to come up with something that retails for more that $50 bucks. Blu-ray nicely fits the bill on both counts, if they can ever get off their as---, stop quibbling, and actually release one. Just think: Blu-ray holds, say, 10 times as much space, so we can now have *ten times as much* GARBAGE on our discs! Wheeeeeeeeeeee ! More Yummy Extras, FBI warnings, useless trailers, etc. etc., all for FREE!!! Why, it's just "Boggley-Woggley" !!!!!

Personally I don't think I am going to buy Sony products anymore. This rootkit and Blue Ray crap have gone to far. However I would like better graphics in games, there's always room for improvement there. But I can try and get HD DVD as an alternative format.

Game Graphics are more a factor of Memory and Processor Speed. If the game machines had the ability to ADD memory and the manufacturers would jump the processor speed, you could load the Base Graphics into the system on it's own (stand alone)disk before game play, then run the Game Disk. You don't NEED more disk space if you have enough memory available and better compression algorithms. Both are "Doable" without New Technology. New technology is fine if there is a REAL need for it. There is no REAL need for Blue Ray. Sony had oversteped the bounds of consumer trust one time too many for my liking. I no longer own ANY of their products, and am doing my best not to buy from companies they control. - Mike -

A_Klingon- "Hollywood needs more $$$..." Now that is FUNNY! As to the "need" for Blu-Ray, Hi-Def content is driving that. Most regular mpeg2 format movies will fit on DVD5 or DVD9 discs no problem. Maybe we don't need Hi-Def? Probably not, but lots of people WANT it, or at least they have been convinced they do. This rootkit crap with Sony has put a damper on my support of Blu-Ray, that's for sure, but the MS backed HD-DVD looks to be just as crippled. IMHO Hi-Def will be so buggered up with DRM and broadcast flag crap by the time it really hits that consumers will balk, and rightly so.
