I was reading my RSS feeds again today when I ran across this article. They started to talk about how much space MGS4 takes up on a Blu-ray disc and, to my surprise, it takes up approximately 33.2 GB of a 50 GB Blu-ray disc. Unbelievable. MGS4 is a great game and the cut scenes really give the feeling of a movie. If you don't own it yet, then you should go out and buy it (hint: it's under $30!)

This is why I'm worried about the Metal Gear Solid franchise going multiplatform for the PS3 and the XBOX 360. The 360 only uses dual-layer DVDs which can hold approximately 8 GB in content. If the new game is going to be anything like MGS4 then I'm expecting a lot of compressed content and multiple DVDs for Microsoft's competing system. DVDs are limited and dying, Blu-ray is the future and is rapidly expanding (some Blu-ray discs can hold over 100 GB of content!)
