I love the idea of buying a game that constantly updates and upgrades... kind of like Half-Life 2 where they released a core games and then produce a new episode every year.

Gran Turismo is a great example of what can be done to speed up the time it takes for new games to come out by making it something that grows over time.

8MB Broadband is becoming more common (and cheap) in the UK, so downloading a 1GB game episode is no big deal any more.

I think there is a definate opening for stripped down multiplayer games that can be downloaded in the playstation store.

I think both have the same potential. I mean blu-ray gives developers enough disk-space, and therefore endless opportunity to create and do whatever they wish with a game. This may hopefully be apparent with MGS4...

As for downloadable games, there is also endless opportunities you can fit into a download. Its a new and exciting way to purchase your games, and certainly appeals to me hugely. Also, the convienience of having it on your HDD is a big advantage. And of course the price is cheaper so this is also brilliant.

I still think we should be seeing actual full games on blu-ray disks as thats the way i agree with, and 50gb of space is what developers and gamers want for their £40.00 game. But i love what people are doing with DLC and downloadable games nowadays, being it store updates or a major release. Its looking like an exciting future!...
