Blu-ray capacity increased

[P.KID]

New tech from Sony and Panasonic sees standard disc capacity raised from 25GB to 33.4GB

The prospect of additional layers means that Blu-ray capacity will no doubt over time continue to increase, but a new development from Sony and Panasonic could see the capacity of standard Blu-ray discs given a sizable bump.
Best of all, the new tech is accessible to owners of current Blu-ray players, including the PS3. A simple firmware update will be the only requirement.

The price would be the same but theyre upgrading the 25gb blu ray for more space!

MGS4 was on a dual layer disc (aka 50GB blu-ray disc). Of course the price won't change, if it did people might be reluctant to buy new games.

MGS4 would not have worked on a 25GB blu-ray disc. I think that was the most detailed game I have played. The environments, chracters, and whole story was simply amazing. Wonder if MGS Rising will be a dual layer disc; probably not considering it is also on 360 which only uses single layer DVD discs.

Most 360 games are on Dual Layer Discs. Its just that since blu-ray holds way more when its a dual layer (obviously).

That leads me to believe that MGSR is not going to be as large of a game as MGS4, since it will be on 360 which does not support blu-ray discs. Hope I'm wrong about MGSR though.
