Is that the biggest single disc on the 360 so far?


Gears of War 3 is also 7.5 GB.

Ah ok thanks. Guess we'll probably be seeing games of that size more often now.

It is the new format for 360 games (Xbox Game Disc 3), which allows developers to use an extra gigabyte of the dvd (from 6.6gb to 7.6gb). It was introduced in september.

Ah ok, I knew about the new format (since I was one of the beta testers) but i've never heard that term before.

There aren't very many that are 7.5 GB for the 360 though.

If by MSP you mean Microsoft Points, it's going to be a retail release, budget price of $40 believe I however, or $50 instead of the usual $60.

Or £29.99 in the UK.

$40 in USA
£35 in UK

however you could likely find it for cheaper

______________________________

OT: surprisingly large install when you think about it, but that probably stems from the double engine/asset system they used.


It's £30 in the UK, instead of the usual £40 - similar price difference from the usual games to the US if you count the difference.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

I'm talking RRP not the price that you can quite easily find it for... personally I got it for £25 with some loyalty points at Game.
