Hard Drives Crash... And DRM is such a beeeeoch to deal with if you want to redownload... nothing is going to kill the DVD, but Blu is a very close successor...
last I checked DRM on a DISC doesnt make MILLIONS of people mad.........well that is except for PC games which cant be installed more than 3 times(Mass Effect, Spore)........
and thats STILL proving his point due to the fact that after the installs allotted are used you are made to go thru hoops to get more.......
so SURE Blu-ray is DRMed but it doesnt prevent me from playing a game or watching a movie........
there's are a few games that kind of tell me that the next gen Playstation will contain a blu ray drive, heavenly sword being one. Then there are a few games that SCREAM to me that the next gen playstation will contain a blu ray drive, MGS4 (metal gear solid 4), and the upcoming LBP (little big planet), both clocking in at about 50 GB and 40GB respectively.
considering that many people think that when some of the next consoles drop, there may be ray tracing available...there's no way any dvd will work. broadband speeds are great, but w/ some companies capping bandwidth ( http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/comcast-set-to-begin-bandwidth-capping-come-october-1st/ ) there's no way that people will be able to download 50 gigs a pop for video games.
