Case in point, we already see a small amount of this with the 360 version of GTAIV, which is on a dual layered DVD. Just imagine what would happen if the game was loading from a 30+ GB full BR disc, pulling data from all over that disc on the fly... that's a damn scary thought.

As I said, for movies it's fine, but loading up a BR disc full of data? I'd hate to hear the machine that has to pull off reading that disc.
