I also believe that it'll be bit more than the 15 GB difference because each disc must have part of the game engine replicated across all of the disc. Call it overhead if you will. As for compression, I'm sure you can get away with loss of quality without detracting too much from gameplay. You can spot compression if you're looking for out for it. I'd still get the PS3 version if I was so inclined to get this game. Because of disc swapping and I like high quality video/audio. I'm not too wild about FF series so it's not a first day buy for me. Definitely on my rental list for sure. |
That's why I'm saying it's a bit more. I don't know exact numbers but I would guess that there's probably about 500MB in replicated executables/libraries across 3 discs. So maybe about 1GB of replication on the 2 additional discs? Anyways it's just a guess but I would think they would have to do this to reduce the amount of disc swapping and accomodate users without hard drives.
