Kutaragi also said that PS3 games would be released only on Blu-ray discs, as DVDs have become too easy for software pirates to duplicate. The high-capacity format is capable of storing around 50GB on a single disc. Sony reps confirmed the PS3 will still play DVDs and CDs, as well as PS2 and PS discs, as previously announced.
Really? Where'd you hear of this? I've heard the opposite or I wouldn't have said it. For example, the many of the PS2 games were CD ROM or whatever type, not DVD ROM.
At its PlayStation Business Briefing 2006 held in Japan, Sony announced today its production plans for BD-ROM discs (Blu-ray). As it turns out, all PlayStation 3 games will ship on Blu-ray to help prevent piracy. In other words, no "cheap" DVD releases.. Of course, the system will still play PS2 and movies on DVD.
