SUPER NEWS FLASH
Gamespot reports Sony have confirmed that the PlayStation 3 will use Blue-Ray discs as the game medium.
I'm not sure if this is good. DVD technology hasn't been around for that long, and I don't think customers want another medium to replace their beloved DVDs too early. And secondly, do games really need 25GB of data storage? How many PS2/Xbox games take up a full DVD disc?
I shudder at the thought of a FF game starting off with an opening cutscene running for 2 hours.
