What is Digg?202 Comments
- Mejogid, on 10/13/2007, -19/+86Halo 3? Is that the game that's hugely over-hyped and inferior to nearly everything released by Valve, Bioshock and the Unreal Tournament series?
- Gigabutt, on 10/10/2007, -2/+65*****, double comment, digg, heres a hint, add the line of js, onsubmit="DISABLE THE ***** BUTTON"
- inactive, on 10/24/2007, -2/+64I must say in the long run sony had there chips right with this disc format from the start. The capacity of these disk will allow this console to continue to have larger more diverse games well into the other consoles future generations. I'm a straight up xbox 360 fan feel free to look at my other comments, but the DVD format can only hold so much and that limit was reached even before the 360 came out. In a year or so well see how much of a difference this really makes.
- Mitsubishi, on 10/24/2007, -3/+57Actually, Bu-Ray disks hold 25GB per layer. 8*25 = 200GB
HD-DVD disks hold 30GB in a dual-layer disk. I think you may have gotten the two confused. - benchwarmer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+36dugg for getting more diggs on this comment than your actual comment
- hartley, on 10/10/2007, -0/+30How the hell am I supposed to keep up with piracy if games start becoming 100gb and bigger?
- drizzlelicious, on 10/24/2007, -0/+30You guys can troll all you want, but fact still remains that the blu-ray has amazing potential.
- DarkDx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26More space in a disk = more place for maps, textures, cutscenes, songs, etc.
- fjc8, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26"Why would they make a disc just for PS3.."
For PS3 games, which only play on the... PS3? - marvinmatthew, on 10/24/2007, -0/+24"wow so will i have to buy a new ps3 i no that last time i had to buy a new xbox to upgrade this stuff so yeah i guess so" -redstatepride (Not a very good name I might add.)
"...just a firmware update to either your current standalone player or your current PS3 and you would be good to go." -the article
It was a six paragraph article, and it was in the first paragraph. You couldn't even bother to read it?
And another thing. It's called a period (You know? That little dot on your keyboard, it shares its home with the the 'greater than' (>) symbol.).
Use it. - DarkDx, on 10/10/2007, -2/+252008.
Looks like everyone seems to forget that the 360 was launched in 2005 and didn't got the goddanm games until 2006? - DarkDx, on 10/24/2007, -1/+24http://www.newlaunches.com/archives/hitachi_develo ...

***** you - omgroffles, on 10/24/2007, -1/+24Not sure if I should digg a comment by a user who doesn't even know if he's asking a question or making a statement.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+29Whats Halo 3?
- richlizard24, on 10/10/2007, -7/+29Now I can store more porn on one disc.
- charlescheese, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24And Halo 3 could have easily fit on a cdrom or atari cartidge had they just compressed it all a bit more. Nobody would have noticed, am I right?
- mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -9/+30Nah, it's a well known fact that only douche bags buy Halo 3.
- DarkDx, on 10/10/2007, -6/+27Even gears of war is better.
- HappyScrappy, on 10/24/2007, -1/+20Toshiba never said the 51GB HD-DVDs work with existing readers. And I'm sure you can guess why they didn't...
- ZenMojo, on 10/10/2007, -5/+24*the sun peeks over the horizon...a sparkle runs up the glistening razor edge of a black monolith...monkeys kneel in reverence...and then other monkeys, angry at the size and storage capacity of the monolith start throwing their feces and screeching in rage*
- NGliam, on 10/12/2007, -6/+24Why would they make a disc just for PS3.. D'oh. But, I googled 100 GB Blu-Ray and it seems it's definitely in the running (TDK seem to have one) and TDK also seem to be working on 200GB (With PRESUMABLY 8 layers).
- mooninite, on 10/24/2007, -0/+18That's why the Blu-Ray group invested millions in the hard coat for Blu-Ray discs. It's nearly impossible to involuntarily scratch a Blu-Ray disc....
- Promantarius, on 10/24/2007, -4/+20It's not PS3 only, it's just listed as being able to function on a PS3 without any physical modifications to the unit; I'd hate to see the development bill on a game that occupied 200GB of a disc.
- merdiesel, on 10/10/2007, -14/+30Both of you sound like a couple of douche bags.
- charlescheese, on 10/24/2007, -1/+17Oh imagine the "classics" type libraries they could put on those disks. Also uncompressed audio, textures, video, the list of things they could do to easily fill up a 200gb is endless and I'm sure it would be filled quite easily. I imagine people thought the same thing when the jump from cartridge to cd rom was made.
- charlescheese, on 10/24/2007, -1/+16This is true. I have rented probably 50 bluray discs from netflix and played a lot of games on my PS3 and I have yet to have anything skip or go nuts on me. It's amazing how durable bluray discs are.
- diggrim, on 10/24/2007, -0/+14finally...a company thinking about the long run rather than selling products. I prefer Blu-Ray over HD-DVD just because it is better technology (as far as density is concerned)
- jacksons98, on 10/24/2007, -1/+15Sorry about that. I agree the article has horrible english. There are quite a few other articles now if you want some additional reading. :)
http://news.google.com/news?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls= ... - heinousjay, on 10/10/2007, -7/+21I can't even imagine the costs associated with 200GB games. The budgets for modern titles are already spiraling out of control, with longer development times and shorter gameplay.
Still, pretty cool that it works with a firmware update. - frygar, on 10/24/2007, -2/+16And games were better on a cartridge, by gum! We didn't have any of those fancy high-end three-dee graphics or front-loading disc drives! And if our games broke, we had to blow in 'em! Using our breath!
- PhillAholic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14I'd like to see these discs holder alternate formats of the movies that we buy. How about having a PSP compatible version of the movie on the bluray disc. Connect your PSP to your PS3, and download it. That might make me buy a Bluray movie over a DVD if I could simply "drag and drop" a PSP version that is optimized for my PSP to watch on the go. I'm sure they could probably do this already, but there's no excuse with that much space.
- Foxhound1979, on 10/10/2007, -8/+21Its amazing how an article that is tech related that just happen to be used by a console is starting a flamewar. I have a PS3 and personally how much content a disc can hold is irrelevant to how a game may turn out. More content in one disc does not guarantee a good game. I mean don't get me wrong, not having to have to swap disc to play a game is great and having to have extra content and not pay for it is also great. But personally Blu Ray may have the capacity but un the end it will be up to the developers if they want to utilize the extra space available.
- AvidPreatorian, on 10/24/2007, -0/+13Assasin's Creed BARELY fit on 360's old DVD format disk and BlueRay drove Heavenly Sword and Uncharted to PS3 because of huge texture resolution which needs BR disk capacity and streaming speed.
thanks. - charlescheese, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13It will change the amount of data bluray disks can store. And if Sony was smart they'd start pumping through movies that use less compression than HD DVD and require file sizes that HD DVD can't compete with.
- esotericguy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13i second the motion
- fantasticFlan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14How do you know what a 200GB game would be? Does that size somehow limit game design possibilities?
- funknjunk, on 10/11/2007, -14/+26You lose a gig for every scratch and smudge =]
- charlescheese, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13You don't want a 200gb game? WTF are you retarded? I'm sure there were a few mentals who didn't want to take the leap from cartridge to cdrom because why would you ever need that much space, but I doubt there were many who were not blind fanboys.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14This isn't always about games.
- chuckyc130, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11here is a perfect Xbox-360 fan. :]
- mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11500MB? haha.
And you're overestimating the digg, and online nerd community. Discs formats are not going to die for a long time. I'm very well knowledgeable with online content, and downloading torrents and all that *****, but I still prefer to have a physical disc. Most people don't know ***** about online content, hell even that study that only 1/3 of PS3 owners know that it contains blu-ray shows just how ignorant the gaming community (and overall US population) is. - Destinatus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11this is a very bad argument. It will just allow for further draw distance, higher texture maps, more polys, etc. this doesn't impede creativity dummy.
- choy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12or microsoft can screw current xbox 360 owners and release one with HDDVD built in. They can then claim that it's "OK" because owners of older machines can buy the HD-DVD accessory. Seriously wouldn't surprise me if this is their plan.
- Loonacy, on 10/10/2007, -5/+15Uncompressed audio, textures, and video would be incredibly stupid. There's no reason to NOT compress things. You might make the argument of lossless vs. lossy, but if you leave everything uncompressed you're just filling up the main bottleneck on load times: optical media read speeds.
- kyrre, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11The PS3 version loads faster than the Xbox 360 version. Looks better too.
- diggrim, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon driving down the road with a bunch of Blu-Ray disc in the trunk ;)
- marvinmatthew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I just found some hilarious reading.
See redstatepride's comments.

Here are some classics:
"well alot of my friends smoke pot and they ended up more stupider u know what"
"lol u must be a ubuntu"
There's tons more. Have a look. - charlescheese, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Two words for all of you, streaming textures. Enjoy.
- tucsonwc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11petabyte drives.
- crzdmn, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12It's 25GB per layer
8 layers = 200GB
