Yeah, because the GC used mini-discs (basically, DVDs with the outer rim chopped off), they could only be, at max, 1.5GB. I think it was sort of silly for Nintendo to go with the mini-DVDs (no matter how cute they are, and how much I love the look of them). Thankfully, the restricted space doesn't really seem to have hurt the GC.
I'm hoping that with the expanded space, they up the texture resolutions, and such, for MPT. I imagine they have gigantic high-rez textures for MP1 and MP2 somewhere, so it should just be a matter of compressing them so they *just* fit on the disc, other technical constraints (loading, bandwidth) nothwithstanding.
