So according to Yahoo's Playback, Sony is planning to put both cinema movies and games on blu-ray discs. I only see two flaws with this - 1) This will probably only apply to Sony Pictures productions, and 2) What about the games that need all the drive space? A year or so into the Ps3's lifetime, and we've already encountered a game that used up all 50 gigabytes (MGS4). Is putting a 2-3 hour HD movie onto that disc such a good idea? I mean, we all know Blu-ray is huge, but everything has limits!
Also, some (all) games pump adrenaline into the body, which can lead to heightened anxiety and stress, which I know all too well after dying too many times on CoD4. However, Tetris is proven by Oxford to help soothe a sufferer of post-traumatic stress. So instead of seeking Snake's head on a platter, the Beauty and the Beast Corps could have just played Tetris.

This seems like just an idea that Sony thinks might give them an edge. Of course it's not very practical, which is why it won't go far in the long run.

Stranglehold did this with the CE, it had a HD version of Hardboiled...
Which of course was a immense "meh" over all.
It's cool on paper, but I agree, I don't see it going very far.

Agreed. It looks like a waste of all that space that could be used for gaming.
EDIT: Developers are already resorting to duplicating data on the disc. Imagine how much of a thorn in their side putting an HD movie onto that disc would be THEN.
