Thursday, August 12th, 2010

With a built-in Blu-Ray player inside, the PS3 was state of the art technology and truly future-proof (3D gaming, anyone?). Many criticized Sony’s decision to include Blu-Ray in their newest console and didn’t quite understand its value, but game developers love the ridiculous amount of space they have for their games. How much you want to bet that Square Enix hated having to put their latest epic, Final Fantasy XIII, on three Xbox 360 discs, reducing the all over quality and resolution for the title? Yet another major developer is complaining over the lack of space on a DVD and how the problem is only going to get worse in years to come…
