now they giving reason as why...

Part of the reason for the game's vast storage requirements, which are over three times what the largest Xbox 360 game can handle, are due to the game's massive, detailed-packed environments. Price explains that many levels and sub-levels take up over 300 megs each, even after compression. Price expects over 40 "different large loaded areas" on the final disc, between the game's single-player campaign and multiplayer arenas.

No its been done many times before. I must admit though that its definitely not a bad idea.

I know it's been done before, I don't know about 'many' but I know that it has been. The issue is that not all companies take advantage of it, and even on PS3, only Resistance is reported to be doing that. I'm just saying that if more companies took advantage of it, and the fact that they can't really complain about space anymore since Resistance will prove that you can do an all in one package for all reigons.

First of all, all this is a BR/ps3 marketing ploy. If anyone doesn't beleive this then you need to ask yourself, why is sony/insomniac advertising the games data size to begin with? There's your answer.

Because it's a common question among gamers and critics alike. Look at this forum post and youll instantly see topics that relate in some way towards BluRay and/or it's capacity. We're talking about it RIGHT NOW. It's one of THE MOST criticized piece of hardware in the PS3 and I doubt that anybody would disagree with me on that.

Honestly, just even revealing this info is going too far, and I for one appreciate that he answered one of the most asked questions on boards everywhere.

and the fact that they can't really complain about space anymore since Resistance will prove that you can do an all in one package for all reigons.

there are reason why we have region code. most obvious are (same as films etc.) are currency differences, why would anyone buy a UK game for £50 when they can order it from Asia, pay half the amount inc. delivery. plus get away paying government tax.

other reason that, it takes time to have all the languages in one, different tv format, which can cause delays world wide, plus each countries have to review and age rate the game when it get to licence. blah...blah.
