Didn't realize how hard MGS4's Disc Swap joke hit until I backed it up (programming.dev)

The Clip if you've never seen it before.

Recently I've been archive my PS3 library of games, and I just finished backing up MGS4. Normally a third party PS3 game is between 7-12GB, however MGS4 is 33GB. To play MGS4 on a 360 you'd need like 4-5 DVD's depending on how they compressed it.

Didn't realize how large games were back even a decade ago.

Final fantasy 7 for pc was also 4 cds in 1998.

I scratched one of them and had to beg a friend to lend me their disc so I could get through the story.
