How much do you reckon Sony paid for MGS4 exclusivity?

It wasn't just the single-sided. They had trouble with that at first. But then they had trouble getting it down the the 50GB the dual provided. The audio is uncompressed so that does take up a lot of space, but there is a lot of audio...and even if compressed would bring it down a LOT...I think it would still take up a considerable amount of space. That's what I said, if they dumbed it down to 720p or sub-720p, they could probably fit it on 2 discs. But I think it's 1080p? At least that's what I've heard.

Anyway, the way MGS4 is, I think it would take a lot of compressing to get it down to 3 discs.

Look at Motorstorm. That was a small title with poor graphics and it took up 22gb of space according to Sony. The reason? No compression so that the PR department could say "look the Blu-Ray is necessary."

MGS4 on 360 = 5 disks min.

 

 Yes, they were truly awful for a launch title.

Honestly, like we're talking Cruis'n graphics here. Just terrible.
