Jesus I hope they fix that with a second run of discs, that's ungodly huge for any poor bastards with data caps and or slow Internet. I know a couple people who use tethered wifi from their cell phones because they live in areas where there is no broadband, so they get 5gb of lte and going over is redonk expensive.

It's 4 games, it won't fit.

2nd disc, for install only. Hell, include a sticker or pin or something, charge $10 more, and call it the 'complete MCC' hahah.

It would save a lot of people valuable cap space, or in the case of 768k/1.5mbit connections many hours.

1.5mbit with typical internet overhead is 43 straight hours at full bore, lol. And 1.5mbit DSL is fine for gaming, which is much more latency-affected rather than raw bandwidth. A DSL 1.5mbit connection with ~10ms is far superior for gaming to an overloaded cable connection with 35mbit and 60ms latency.

I have a 1.5MB/s connection (Not fast compared to other places by any means) but it still wouldnt take me any where near 48 hours to download this, at the most 5-6hrs ..


By definition if you are at 1.5mbit you could never hit 6 hours even with absolutely zero overhead. It's 22 hours that way. 8mbit = 1mbyte. 1024mbyte = 1gbyte. So to calculate the raw speed you need to multiply 20gb by 8 and then 1024 to get the total mbit you're looking at. That is BIG.  it's not the end of the world and many will have no big problem with it, but it is slightly disappointing and inconvenient for a few.
