Multi-disc have always been a disadvantage. More production costs, more licensing costs (MS for example charges heftly for every extra disc), and of course the hassle of changing discs. And double-sided DVDs are dumbest decision you could make. You still have higher production costs, since there still two sides, and yoou scratch both surfaces when touching it. And you still need to turn the DVD. And even double sided DVDs would have been too less space for MGS4: 8.5 8.5 = 17 GB BD DL = 50GB |
MGS4 has like 8/9 hours of cutscenes?..... No wonder it takes up al that space. And they could have used a drive with two lenses(one for each side) so you didn't have to turn the dvd(probably would have cost like $10 extra).
More importantly X360 is doing fine with just DVD(not to mention Wii). I'm not saying Blu-Ray isn't better, it just wasn't a smart move by Sony from a cost and business perspective.
