Nothing else I said was hype. The Cell took a different approach in several areas. Speed of the subsystems was one of them. That's not hype .. that was a design decision to achieve real-time processing of data. I'll trust people in IBM that had been developing chips for 25 years. IBM chip designers with pocket protectors aren't exactly masters of hype and marketing.

Considering I didn't fall for the hype of the Xbox 1.5 despite have an Xbox .. you don't need to worry about me getting steamrolled like most when it comes to over hyped consoles. I actually spend time reading to understand .. unlike many that make assumptions about others.

Thanks for that insight I thought the game was shipping. Sorry but you deserved that.
Everything? Um..no.
The PS3 has both fast RAM and a design focused on real-time streaming capabilities. Seems like they thought of that. Which is why your seeing these kinds of games on the PS3.

Limit which is what in relation to this game? You don't know but your assumption is the worst. Like I said in my original post .. pessimism. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Given the design goals of the chip itself informs my optimism.
Luxury? Um ..design decision actually. They designed a PS3 system..instead of just throwing something together and dumping last gen parts on the market like some other company rushing a product to market.
You need to read some more about the performance of BD vs DVD before claiming "awful". 2x BD does not equal 2x DVD.
Also, if I remember correctly, BD has a constant bitrate i.e. 1x= 36 Mbps throughout the entire disc, whereas DVD bitrates are variable depending on the circumference of the given 'track' (not sure if the terminology is right) So 2x BD is actually faster than 8x DVD on the outer quarter or so of the disc.
