Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't 360 Dual Layered DVDs limited to 6.7GB of game data? If so that would make 20.1GB and not 25.5GB.

I don't remember any XBOX360 installations topping 6.7GB that is why I assume this.

Keep reading the thread :-p. Kitler already posted a link to confirm the size and I admitted I was wrong 

Didn't want to read the whole thing and by not doing so I saved myself the effort seeing as how you just answered my question.

Mission Accomplished!

But... but... VGChartz preorder data hasn't proven to be 100% accurate! What about outside the US?!

Dsister, you could have been speaking the truth!

I agree, and I think you are lowballing too!

This game can rot for all I care. At least until it is announced for the superior console... come on Zeebo port!

I put this game on reserve.

 

I got GTAIV, got bored of it.

I got Read Dead Redemption, got bored of it.

I pre-ordered L.A. Noire. Will I get bored too?

 

 

Why do I keep giving them my money? O_o

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?

Isn't this game being developed by the people that originally made the Getaway games? Instead of Rockstar North.

I feel the same way about GTA IV and RDR. Luckily I got them cheap( GTA IV for free, RDR for $15 a week after it came out)
