In fact, they don't explicitly say that it involves the Xbox 360. Given the port job Capcom did on Lost Planet for PS3, it is entirely plausible that they had to duplicate too much data for the PS3 given it's Blu-Ray drive's slow read times.

Ultimately though, we know what this is. Hisiru pointed it out. They are just finding ways to make money. If they really made stuff THEN cut it they would offer it as free DLC. But they will actually have set out to have DLC from the beginning.

Certainly by all accounts it is inexpensive to have a game with two discs, Microsoft only charges substantial costs for three or more.

No, thats pretty much BS. Please try again.

yup. it is think about this

the xbox360's drive speed is a 12x CAV

the PS3's BLU-RAY DRIVE is also a 8X DVD CLV drive beside being also a 2x Blu-Ray drive

the xbox360 speed can only get to it's max speed  the very outer edge's of the DVD disc itself upto that point the speed

is no way near 12x it's arround 8x with dip's to 5x than that matter's what type of DVD it's reading a DL or single layer DVD.

while the Blu-ray drive is a constant speed  no matter where on the disc

a 2x Blu-Ray drive transfer's speed as fast as a 8x speed DVD drive

so how is it that the blu-ray drive's are slow reading drives again?

Ps3 = Blue ray 2x             9MB/s

X360 = Dvd 12x                16'2 MB/s

a 2x Blu-Ray drive transfer's speed as fast as a 8x speed DVD drive

no sir.

dvd 8x  10'8MB/s
