Rockstar Confirms GTA V will be shipped with two discs

_______________________________________________________________

Rockstar Games on Tuesday posted a question-and-answer page on its site, responding to queries from fans. The company confirmed that due to the size of the upcoming title, the Xbox 360 version will ship with two discs. The first disc will need to be inserted into the console at startup. That disc will install game files onto the console. The second disc will then be used to play the game. No switching will be required once the file is installed on the Xbox 360.

Grand Theft Auto V is one of the most anticipated games launching this year. Rockstar will launch the title on both consoles on September 17. Rockstar is not saying anything yet about a possible launch on PCs or next-generation platforms.

I remember reading this a long time ago on a different site. The fact that it uses 2 discs isn't that amazing, since many Xbox 360 titles use it and a DVD disc can't store that much.

Hmmmm this is cool but it sucks for people who lose discs.

Yeah, but you only need to use the installation disc once, but yet you will need to keep that in case you ever want to switch console, so complicated Rockstar!

Oh well, but I guess this shows how big this game is really going to be, right?

DVDs can hold over 10GB of content...

I knew it already. Also, PS3 will be shipped with Double Layered Discs.

If you have an Xbox with a smaller harddrive, you can always format a USB stick to store the game on that.
