Blu-Ray and Gaming

Andre (who works in our Developer Relations group) over at his Ozymandias blog has posted some thoughts on Blu-Ray and specifically around using it gaming. Andre's friend, Mark DeLoura, who was formerly at Sony in Developer Relations but since moved to Ubisoft, posted his response to Andre claims on his blog. Add in some coverage of the public discussion from Gamasutra, and you've got quite the drama.

Popcorn anyone?

i could care less about HD DVD or Bluray.

I am not prepared to rebuy my DVD complete libraries of StarWars, LOTR, HarryPotter, Indiana Jones, Spiderman and so on. I have a 51" wide screen HDTV and DVD is good enough for me.  Im sure most people feel this way.  If I ever do buy a HD disc system it will not be bluray.  

Give me Gears of War and Im good.

Dude you dont need to rebuy those movies.  Just buy new ones in the new format.  I plan on buying the HDDVD add on if it isnt to much and upconverts standard dvds as well.

Not sure if Ozymandias has been on your show yet, but I'd love to hear what he has to say about his job in Developer Relations.  I've been reading his blog from the beginning and it's pretty cool...of course not as cool as yours. ;)
