[QUOTE="Snugenz"][QUOTE="LuvGaming"]1. Read what Gzus666 typed. "How would you play a non linear game like GTA with more than one disc? its never been done on any non linear game ive ever seen in my life. youd be switching discs all the time. only console game ive ever played with more than 1 disc was FF7."

Here's the order (by largest) of data on a game disc ...
1. FMV (Largest)
2. Audio
3. Textures
4. Geometry/Game data (Smallist)
With a non linear game like GTAIV or Oblivion, textures do get reused (ALOT), Geometry/Game data are fairly tiny files anyway, Audio can be compressed further to fit on a smaller storage medium, and i'm nearly sure GTA uses the in game engine to handle cutscene so there wont be any FMV (minus some short opening sequences/logos).
Now if Oblivion can handle 12sq/miles, with hours of spoken dialogue and some pretty damn hi res textures, and still not fill a DVD9 i'm pretty sure GTAIV can aswell.
Oh yeah? Then tell that to developers including ROCKSTAR who have admitted that the 360 is LIMITING the games development because of no HD-DVD/Blu-Ray drive and the fact that not all 360 consoles have hard drives.Well those devs should have used all the space on DVD 9 and they should have use the HDD in all Xbox last gen . But only 9 or 10 % use either one.
Then MS might have thought about it.
