Well obviously but the point is the sheer size of the game, that’s what I was getting at.

I think the laser in a PS3 can only read the 25gb ones. The 50gb lasers came out after the PS3 as far as I know.

Some developers need to brush up on their object oriented programming. My guess is someone said, “It’s going on BD, we don’t have to be careful with space” and programmers got lazy.

I doubt it’s laziness. This is a next gen title and requires more space to accomdate the game. From the article I linked, it looks like it plays out like a mini-series rather than a video game; heavy dialogue, and the fact that the graphics are nothing short of spectacular is probably the more likely reason.

You don’t even have a PS3 so what are you worried about… 😉

I have never heard of any game that large yet, except for maybe lost odyssey for the 360 that came on 4 DVDs(probably dual layered)

Lost Odyssey is that large but the graphics for LO are not as good as MGS4 from the video and screenshots we have seen. LO has about 20 hours of non-playable content. I can see MGS have more than that.
