Dual layer Blu-Ray is 100GB, old PS1 games used to ship on many disks (looking at you FF7 and FF8).
Single layer 25GB, Dual 50GB, Tri 100GB, Quad 128GB.
Oh, thank you! :)
How much would 2-3 dual-later BDs cost?
The issue isn’t the technical possibility, but whether people are willing to pay the premium for installation media.
To the manufacturer? Pennies. It’s made of the same stuff DVDs are. They’re only expensive to the consumer because the entire industry hates the idea of them.
Of course I would pay an extra few dollars tohave media and guarantee a game will install and run even if the internet goes away.
This isn't about convienence for the users, its about killing the secondary market
And CoD is 250GB or something.
Holy crap really? That's freakin comically huge
