From my PC, with no expansion installed.

Just checked my Diablo III folder. With the expansion installed, it's just a little shy of 15gb large.

Lossless audio could contribute to that, assuming they're trying to get as much out of that blu-ray capacity as possible.
Those cinematics in particular might weigh a bit (5.1 lossless mix and blu-ray quality video).

Goddamnit, that will take me 2 whole hours to download! lol. I really don't think the game will actually be that big when it it's released. Must be some misinformation given to sony from blizzard or activision. That's bigger than a blu-ray disc plus it isn't that big on PC.

Would it be possible to download the game via disc (Gamefly, borrowing a copy) and unlock it by buying it in the PSN store without downloading it again?

CG is encoded horribly in the PC ver. like really bad and only 720p I think. Maybe they're actually 1080p with decent bitrate now but even then it wouldn't be this large even with bluray movie level bitrate. There is not that much.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Is the shitty dialogue worth 61,7gb?

Nope! You can do it on XB1 but not ps4.tbag would have been so convenient though.

I'm glad I bought a 2TB HDD...
Also as some pointed, must be a mistake, 62.7 doesn't fit in a standard Blu-Ray.

Either that's a typo on EU or audio really is uncompressed--maybe more languages, but I can't imagine compressed audio for <10 languages adding up to that much extra.
