I have a hard time believing that needing more than 50GB of disc space is a sign of anything but general ineptitude, inefficiency, and excessiveness. Just what does Kojima intend to put on this game disc that requires so much space? I suppose I can hope that this is all just a misunderstanding, and that Kojima didn't actually mean to imply that MGS4 is so bloated in size that it needs to consume 10 times the space of any other game just to meet his standards.

Bingo. Its easy for anyone to fill things up as much as possible, the question is always whats practical. I mean, whats the point of people using uncompressed bitmaps as opposed to png or gifs for the majority of applications? Exactly the same thing here. More space doesn't mean you have to fill it up unnecessarily. |
If you have the space for it, why not do it? Do you want them to use 10GB of the disc and give you a bunch of compressed crap, or do you want uncompressed beauty?
P.S. GIF's look horrible.

GIF's are lossless so they only look horrible if the orig is horrible or you use them improperly (i.e. advanced colors). And the point has already been made that they're not implementing stuff or taking it away (i.e. japanese audio options) because they're being lazy/inefficient. Besides that, uncompressed files have other disadvantages like taking longer to access, etc.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should, that attitude of "why not do it" is such a wasteful style of thinking and you can tell from how much junk people have lying around in their house.
