I'm officially confused. I thought they wanted to use the double-layer from the start? In this article it's saying that Kojima Productions claim they meant they couldn't fit it on the single-layer and planned on shipping it on two discs....but that Sony offered them to be the first to use the double-layer. I smell a fish...

MGS4 = duel-layered Blu-ray, MGO = single layer

I just owned all the Sony fanboys in that other thread about dual-layers.

 Read in the article later on. I'm saying I thought they wanted MGS4 to be on the double-layers Blu-ray disc since the beginning...but they are saying that they planned on using a single-layer disc at first. 

 they planned on using 2 single-layer discs

Originally (and I'm talking at least a year ago), Kojima said that the 25gb BD-Rom was "too small", hence why they are now using a dual-layered 50gb BD-Rom. It's not that hard to comprehend.

 Ok, read the article. Payton is saying initially they planned on using the single-layer disc but found out it wouldn't fit...so then they decided to use 2 single-layer discs but were offered to use the double-layer. What I'm confused about is I thought Kojima wanted to use the double-layer from the beginning. Payton is claiming otherwise. I think somethings up...

I thought the interview recently he was saying the double-layer wasn't enough?

I'm talking about an interview from a LONG time ago, when he first expressed interest in using a dual layered BD-Rom.  I'd assume that the game has only grown in size since.

 Payton seems to be saying Kojima meant the single-layer....oh well.
