PC Games on Blu-Ray Discs?????

[advancedgeek]

Are there any pc games on blu-ray discs? if so what game? if not when will there be a game released on blu-ray? so far only ps3 games are on blu-ray and all others are dvd or cd.

ha, they arent going to be putting PC games on Blu Ray for a while to come, only in the last year or so has DVD been considered the standard, some games still coming in CD format. Considering a Blu Ray drive is what... $600 or something for a computer, no one in their right mind would have one. And no company in their right mind would invest millions of dollars so 0.001% of gamers can play it, and 0.0001% would actually buy it and not download it.

...and also, no PC game takes up that much space, to use a Blu-Ray disc.

Not yet, anyway.

most pc games arent even dual layer dvds yet, we are going to start seeing games on 2 dvds before we see them on hf dvd or blu ray

More likely 4 or 5 dvd's before hd dvd and blu-ray.

1 reason they wouldn't put games on blu-ray is...no one wants to spend $400 on a drive that reads them, thus if they did make them, they would lose lots of money from people not buying the game...

and just think how much more the game would cost to cover the extra cost of using such an expensive format.

Almost all Data from most games is loaded onto the HD so that its faster, why would they use blu-ray?

They'll just put them into Dual Layer DVDs, 5 of which is about the same as a blu-ray, and make the install take a little longer...

Though, I don't think any game needs 50gbs of space, really. Even the PS3 games, all of them I've seen on demonoid would fit onto a DVD.
