Well it depends. When the ps3 comes out and you buy all thses games for it. Then fi they freaquently get recked then I think it would be worht it even if it takes a long time to make a back-up for you game.

It will come down in price just like dvd's.Like I said they'll find a work around they always do.Games used to come on cd's which held 700mb and when the games switched to dvd which holds 4.7gb etc people said the same thing but it worked out in the end.Now your seeing the same thing and as the file size gets bigger you will see an answer for it.
It would be worth the wait for me personally.and not all games will fill the disc up to the end.It's 25gb last time I checked not 50gb but I could be wrong.

Strange, I thought 50gb would be the most logical

Hey all! Even if you could burn a backup of the Blue-Ray at the PS3 release date, you want to spend $900.00 for a BR burner, which is the average going price plus another $600.00+tax and warrenty for the PS3? I'll wait a couple of years til' the price of the burner and discs goes down.

I remember when one of the first dvd burners came out, I shelled out $800 and could only burn 1:1 speed. I don't know how fast the BRs burn but on a 50GB game - wow - get the sleeping bag out, PS4 will be out by then. By the way, does anyone know what the actual size of a game will be? I am sure there will be a way to back up games to the hard drive like x-box. Man, I can't wait!

well when the first ps3 games are relesed they wont use 50 gb's up they will probaly be no more then 20 gb.
broadband download problem with sky digital you can get 16 meg per second with no download limits for 10 pounds a month ! so that speeds the download part up a bit.
and considering you can get 500 gig hardrives i dont think size is a problem for now.
I remember reading in the ps2 magizine that ps3 will evenchally have 200 gb blue ray discs and the games will fit on that :O so thats when it sharts to become a real problem.

ITs good for all Sky TV users but not ones without a SKY subscription and the unlimited download limit is *Subject to Fair Usage Policy which is probably some other crap like be fair with downloading or something like that

im not gona put myself in misery by getting the ps3 anytime soon. im not getting it till late '08. by that time we will all know the real power of the ps3 , and how to back-up Br-game disks. but the thing that sucks is that when backing-up a ps3 game or either downloading
one it's for sure gonna be a money and time consuming task.
PCE..

When the PS3 comes out the price of Blu-ray Discs will obviously be very high and the write speeds of the BR burners will be very slow. My guess is that the initial method for backing up PS3 games will be to "rip" the games so that they are small enough to fit on a DVD-9 disc. Much like when the PS2 first came out when people would rip DVD-R games so that they could fit on a cd-r. "Ripping" methods include removing movie files and lowering the resolution of the game. As people above have mentioned the first generation of PS3 games will be on the 25GB BR Discs not the Dual layered 50GB discs so it's not likely that there will be any games larger than 20GB initially. Seeing as how DVD-9 holds about 8GB the proportions are similar to the DVD-R CD-R ratio. Hopefully by the time the 50GB games come out the BR discs will have gone down in price and the write speeds of BR burners will be much faster(similar to DVD-R's and DVD burners were about 2 years ago)
