Just what I need for all my hi-def blu-ray downloads that I have... Do we really need 100gb blu-rays?
Didnt have enough space on a standard bluray for MGS4 huh Hideo Kojima? well here take one of these and show us what you can do with MGS5 ;)
I don't think we'll see PS3 running games on these types of discs in the first place. Maybe down the road, but I doubt it.
1) Disc is expensive to make, and while it is likely to become a lot cheaper as time goes by(and an unrewritable version should be even cheaper) it will probably not convince developers to use this rather than say to 50GB BD discs
2) Very few games hit 50gb
3) As of now PS3 probably doesn't fully support it, but that could be patched
I think these three will add up to it not being deployed, but for once it would be great to be proven wrong.
BDXL is not compatible with existing Blu-Ray players. Games will not utilize this type of disc.
