Because what? 50gb across two layers (with no delay between layers and position on the disk like DVDs had) just isn't enough?!?
They didn't need to be bigger, the only reason that MGS and other AAA games claim to be using up all of the space is because they weren't using tricks to cut-corners, likely so they could come out at the right time.

How many games could even TOUCH the limit in the first place? If I don't see a game which is TWO actual human lives rolled into a disc, I call Blu-Ray a shiny disappointment.
Oh boy, still riding that train.
Yes, games do look a bit better when optimised on the ps3. But the majority of the space is taken up by uncompressed audio. not graphics.

That still doesn't explain why an entire season of South Park can't fit onto a single Blu Ray. Or even the entire Full Metal Panic (13 episodes), which occupies 2, with no special features to speak of.
If I remember correctly, most blu-ray players including the PS3 can't read BD discs of higher capacity than 50GB. If that is the case, and unless this new tech can be implemented with a firmware update, this doesn't concern gamers at all. At least not in this generation.
You know eventually your dick gets so big it just doesn't matter because you'll never need a dick that big.
@RenegadePanda
Maybe they put them in multiple discs to justify the price of those complete season box sets. Also, Tessa is definitely hotter than Chidori.

If the general read time improved, this is a welcome story. If it doesn't address the current read speed. I will just wait for next storage innovations.
The best thing about blu-ray is that it meant you could take apart broken PS3's and turn their disc-reading laser into a bright fuckin' purple burny laser pointer of death.
@sprldr: I believe spamming like you do on everyone of Jim Sterling's articles is a bannable offense.
If the PS3 won't even be able to read the new discs, I'd like to see SonyDefenseForce use this as some kind of pro-ps3 thing.

what's with all the negative comments? since when is more space a bad thing? Was everyone this ticked off when HDDs moved into the GB domain?
the hardware is exactly the same. the only thing that's changing is the way that the data is being read. to quote joystiq (and i feel sad quoting them): "According to Nikkei Electronics, i-MLSE is a processor-intensive method that will allow players to properly calculate the read-error rate, a stumbling block that prevented larger capacity discs." this means that a firmware update is all that should be needed to allow for more space to be used on the discs.
You clearly dislike Sony, so why does Destructoid let you report on PS3 related news? It'd be nice to read an article about a system I own without your anti-PS3 bullshit thrown into it.
I read yesterday that existing blu-ray players will only need a firmware update for the newer discs.
Agreed Necron117.
SixthHero needs to quit QQing about unrelated bullshit.
Seriously, more space is great. It used to be that we didn't have enough and now we have more than we can do with which is the way it should be. Advancements in technology that relate to video games news belongs here, not people's negative comments towards Jim and/or this article because the can't comprehend the long term usage.

@SixthHero: Read the first couple lines of the following story and tell me again that Jim hates the PS3. I hate Microsoft, but I love my Xbox 360. They are not the same thing.
Jim doesn't hate the PS3.

Biased journalism is biased.
This has become the FoxNews of videogame journalism with all the tounge in cheek (and also blatant Sony) bashing.
You know the games and tech on the PS3 are way fudging better than the xbox so you prefer to look like a moron and try to bash it? Jim, report the news when it's news time, and write a column I can skip when it's time to write an opinion piece. Go to journalism 101 or create an xbox website schmuck.
Time to rss joystiq again.

Those cutscenes take more talent to produce and made more money than your whole family possess, combined.
How does that feel?

Where's the bias? Did Jim really need to put a "LOL!" at the end of the article?
Maybe they need to put that small caption again on his articles at the beginning.

Wow. Just. Wow. The idiots just crawl out of the woodwork. Relax, have a beer. Jesus christ! You PS3 fanboys need to calm down.
@trolls
How is this biased and why are you angry? Putting an opinion at the end of the story doesnt change the quality of a story. It would be biased if after the header it said, "and a great deal of good it will do for this hobnobbery of a system the PS3 is," but alas it does not.

Woah, woah, when did this become (another) Jim's biased slamfest? What's going on? What's biased about that article? I thought it was pretty positive. A little sarcastic at the end there but pretty blatantly sarcastic. That can't be taken seriously at all...can it?
I LOVE my PS3 and I thought Jim's ending comments were pretty damn funny.
Could it be true?! Finally, a 6 hour MGS cutscene?!
...
OCELOT!!!!

What's with all this "Jim hates the PS3" crap coming from? I read nothing in that article that was even remotely negative about the PS3. If its the 6 hour cutscene comment then seriously, you PS3 fanboys are pathetic little shits that need to get something in your life to actually care about. Get a puppy, or a girlfriend. Or go masturbate to relieve the tension that is creating stoopids in your brains
@Xzyliac: Agreed. I don't see where Jim bashes either Sony or the PS3 in this article. He pokes a little fun at MGS4's super long movie sequences, but it wasn't malicious, and even the most hardcore of Sony fanboys have to admit that you could eat a whole bag of popcorn during some of those cutscenes.
