L.A. Noire was once a six-disc game on Xbox 360

The more important questions are:

1) Can the game be played immediately or does it need to be installed? (It's a shame that this even has to be asked for a console game.)

2) How long are the loading times in each version?

Because those are the things that can really cost the player time. Swapping discs twice is a matter of at most one minute.

i dont know about you, but quiting out of a game, then ejecting it. takes up a little, up to 30 seconds getting to the consoles main menu. then putting in a game having it load up, and get into the game where you actually play takes up to several minutes. the whole proccess could very well almost take 5 minutes. 

which is not a substantial amount of time, but can definitely remove yo from the experience

Actually the way they do it now is they freeze the game until you put in the other one so you don't need to quit out. I'm pretty sure Bioware did that on Mass Effect 2 and I just saw a video of it happening on Dead Space 2.

dead space 2 was on 2 disks?

was the pc version as well?

also yah, i didnt know disk swaps worked that way
