LOL!

It would be pretty funny though if Microsoft forced Square-Enix to pay their rediculous fees that start applying to every disc after 2. Say the game comes to 43GB on the BD, then you are looking at a minumum of 7 discs for the 360. If that was to happen it could very easly make the 360 version of the game retail for $99. More than likely though, they will just drop the sound down to extreamly compressed 5.1, and bust the cut scence back to highly compressed 720p. That alone will save tons of GB's.

 

  1. MS does not charge fees per disc.
  2. A XBox360 disc is something like 9.3 GB. 7 discs = 63GB
  3. It is more expensive to produce a BluRay than a DVD and the 1-disc-games (almost every title) are priced the same, so there won't be a difference for FF XIII. Star Ocean (3discs) or Lost Odyssey (4 discs) aren't more expensive than other games.

 

Actually dual layer dvd 9 are actually 6.8 gbs not 9.3 gb which is closer to the 5 to 6 dvd range for a game that is going to fit on a 50 gb blu-ray.  also where did you hear it was cheaper?  I heard the opposite due to the licensing fee to press the disk being more with multiple disk?
