couldn't they always just compress all the uncompressed data in MGS4 to make it fit on a DVD-9? Someone told most the space that it was taking up on Blu-Ray was just uncompressed data.

The only uncompressed data will be the audio data whch will probably be around 20 GB for each game. That could be reduced considerably but there would be a reduction in quality.

They could apply lossless compression techniques to the audio also. However, there are some high end lossy compression techniques that fare very well with audio (much better than MP3).

Both games will most likely be using DD+. That would mean the best suited lossless compression would be Dolby TrueHD which can't be suported by most 360s since it requires HDMI 1.1.

Even then best lossless compression techniques only achieve around 50% compression so if the games are using around 20 GB uncompressed audio, it would still be too much after compression.
