Not worth its own thread? Don't reply and it will go away.

Scamco is simply abusing this feature, but it's not like it's their fault. Pandora's box was opened by the first game that allowed it. :lol

What amazes me is that the X360 version, which has identical content, fits on a DVD around 6.7GB.

Wow that is one giant save file.

What about the 360 arcade users? there isn't a 2gb memorycard.

The save method can't be that different per platform, must be another hard drive only game?

Since the current limit is 5gigs and even MGS4 wasn;t allowed to go past that, I'll wait and see about this.

also, wow @ 6.7GB. I mean the game is for 360 too, and 360 DVD's cannot be bigger than 7.4GB... so uh... is the install literally the whole game? I wonder.

Insane.

I'd assume it's either not compressed or a different form of compression on the HDD.
