Forums - Sony - Gran Turismo 5 Packaging Reveals Three Discs

I remember GT2 was on two disks, maybe they made the arcade and the GT mode on extra discs.

Well, I think one of them will be a bonus disc with videos and so on.

One of them has to be extra content. But guys, lets not forget, you probably have the 7.1 uncompressed sound, and the uncompressed 1080P video stream, that does take up a lot of space, it is possible that the game spans two discs.

3 x 50GB of pure GT = best game ever!

or 3x 25 GB single layer BD disc's

If it was all gonna be on 3 25gb disks why not just put it on 2 50gb disks. But it's more than likely all on one disk with extras on the other 2 disks.

because a single layer BD 25 IS VERY CHEAP vs' a DL BD50

Special edition is most logical.

Where is the proof of this? Remember they would also have to print the 3rd disk as well as manufacturing it.

I was refering to the first part of your comment, that was on the same level of the same attacks the Forza thread had from the Sony camp, which I condemned as well. It's comments like those that start unnecessary discussions.

For the rest of your post I agree, all the people who don't see any issue on this it just means extra content for them, if this news came to be legit, so far it's just rumors.

Ah, well I was poking fun at those who were crying about Forza having two discs, "Turn about is fair play" and "what goes around comes around, and usually kicks you in the ass."

EDIT:  I missed a few posts where people obviously thought I was complaining about having more than one disc...erm, people, read my post, where did I say that having two discs was a bad thing? Please, quote me, I would love to see it. If you can't, then STFU cuz you don't know what you are talking about.


You really ought to calm down.

You are taking a internet rumour and turning it into a fact to prove god knows what.

And what if this is just a joke and GT5 is on one BR disc?

All you would have got was a hardon laughing at yourself.

it is more expensive to produce the disc when you add more layer's

remember a BD 25 is a single layer DISC that is much cheaper to manuf. than a disc with more layer's

example:

There are currently 4 different recordable Blu-ray Disc formats: BD-R 25 (write once, single-side, single-layer, 25GB),BD-R 50 (write once, single-side, dual-layer, 50GB), BD-RE 25 (rewritable, single-side, single-layer, 25GB) and BD-RE 50 (rewritable, single-side, dual-layer, 50GB). The Blu-ray BD-R write-once format makes use of an inorganic material in the recording layer, entirely different from the organic dye used in previous types of write once formats. Because the recording layer is not easily damaged by light, blu ray discs have outstanding archivability.

so EXAMPLE online blank media cost to the consumer

to buy blank:

A SINGLE BD-25 = $6.99

A SINGLE BD-50 = $25.99

XD @ all you people complaining about having 2 discs in Forza 3...aint Carma a bitch????
On the flip side, for those who really don't care about having multiple discs (the non fanboys) , this means GT5 must have a lot of content...awesome!

XD @ YOU. First off, if the situation was remotely close to what Forza 3 is....it WOULDN'T MATTER! Why? Because every PS3 has an HDD, so no consumer gets shafted if there's an install. That's the only gripe people had with F3 being on multiple discs. Arcade owners are basically ignored....

XD @ you for forgetting that parts of the second Forza 3 disc can be loaded onto a memory card, or internal memory. Also, for forgetting that you can get a used 20GB HD for around $20.00 on Ebay. Oh hey, XD @ you for forgetting that the second disc could have just as easily been DLC in which case, you would most likely have to pay for it, Oh hey, lets not forget that people who REALLY want to play that extra content will most likely be using on line, and most people who play online have DLC for the games they play, and to have the DLC they have to have a HD. XD@ you for simply passing by the fact that the 2nd disc is NOT necesary to play the actual game itself and that the second disc is more akin to a hardcopy of DLC...shall I continue???

If I spend $60 on a game, I want the entire package. I sholdn't have to spend an extra $20. I shouldn't have to "pick and choose" which parts of the game are available to me.

Also, quit assuming and generalizing the consumer. There are MANY out there that "really" want content, but don't have an HDD yet. Where do you get off saying "If you want the complete experience, you need to buy all the accessories to play the game"? That'd be the equivalent of Wii Fit not being packaged with the balance board, then Nintendo telling people to go buy the board if they "REALLY want to play". I know the second disc isn't "necessary" to play F3....but it is "necessary" to play ALL of F3. 

To say that it could've just easily been DLC...hell, they could have made F3 with just 10 cars and 2 tracks, then said that everything else could "easily be DLC".

So yes, please continue

You = fail



GT5 is 3 disks?
If it is a special edition that includes "The making of:" then it ought to be 3 disks, they have 5 years of footage :P. Mythbusted!
