Also, Toxik, bear in mind that even a 2x speed Blu-Ray drive has a slower reading rate than the 12x speed DVD-9 in the 360. Granted, at this point they have not announced the drive speed of the Blu-ray player in the PS3, but if it is 2x or less, then the PS3 will suffer longer load times. Kind of a potential problem for the Sony camp; more storage with longer load times. A trade-off for the better? I guess we'll see.

And if the 360 does have games that are on 2 disc, I will not be crying. Who cares? If it is a great game, surely you will not mind.
