Rockstar Made L.A. Noire So Big, They Could Barely Fit It On One Disc

it said, they are making download content that didnt fit on the disk,

so i would assume that if disk space wasnt an issue, then that content would be on the retail disk of the game.

also when i read the article. my understanding of it, was progressing in the game with the main story mission, you will only need to swap disks twice, but their are side mission that arent directly story related, that you can play, but would have to switch disks to get back to them, if they were on the previous disk. the wording was a bit ambiguous, but that was my understanding

Like I said in my earlier post, three DVDs have more space than a single layer blu-ray. So if anything, content was cut because of the blu-ray, since the DVDs still had another half gigabyte to fill, they could of probably held a DLC mission or two more. 

And if you read the article it says you will only need to swap twice.

In fact, players will only need to swap discs twice at natural breaks between cases without interrupting the flow of the game

Yes and no, you are right that 3 DL DVDs fit more than a single layer Blu-ray. But You also have to remember that 360 games have mandatory 1 GB or so taken away from each disc for extra content. Microsoft is cutting it out on future games, but i am pretty sure LA Noire wont make the cut as the dashboard requiered for it is only beta.

That said, they didn't cut anything why would they?
