There's a difference, Forza's one disc is what 9 gigs, GT on the other hand would be 50 gigs. Theres a big difference in the amount of info you can get from two discs of Forza compared to two discs of GT.

Now I'll just say I also only believe there is one game disc, and the other two items are booklets or video discs.

That doesn't make any sense.

So a number is differentiated by how much said medium can contain within that number?

Two or more discs is simply two or more discs.
 
Although I for one wouldn't want more than one disc, the fact that the game would have to be so large and so content filled to not fit on a BR disc speaks a would more than likely speak volumes towards the game. Where as with Forza you could fit that game twice on a single BR disc.

Again I wouldn't want it on more than one disc, but simply the amount of content needed to fill it, to me makes the difference.

I really don't want to speculate here, but Forza seems to me the way it is because it's running on DVDs. A higher quality would make the game come in more DVDs, something which people obviously don't want... That's speculation, of course.


On topic, I can't see how can Gran Turismo 5 will come in 3 Blue Ray discs. However, we don't even know if that's the case. We are speculating on a speculation here.

here is my take:
Disc 1)promotional video
2)Sim and Arcade
3) LAN party disc
 
Here is some thoughts, that came into my head what if there is three BD discs.The GT5 disc ( black case ), could be for road cars that you can drive on real roads ( hint a Stelvio Pass like road ).For people who want to just drive their favorite cars on real roads.

The red disc case, covers different motorsport events from different eras.Here you could save cars from the GT5 disc & transport them to a race team.As we know cars, can be transfered from GTPSP and could come as DLC too.

The third blue case, could be vintage & classic road cars with many contraptions from different eras ( including the locations of the time ).They could be transfered to the GT5 disc.

Does this make sense ?.Really it's just speculation, on my part.
 
Well, if you could transfer them all to one disc, why just not have them all on one disc to begin with.
 
Some people might prefer vintage & classic cars, to driving a modern 2 seater sports car.So wouldn't it be better, to split it into 3 games to entice different tastes ?.

Ar you could leave it as one game meant to entice all tastes. Isn't that what GT is all about?
 
I'd lean towards the blue case containing a "Making of", or other, similar, video content, since it's the standard color for BD video cases.

Also, I love how people here made it seem like F3 being on more than one disc was horrible yet nobody cares if GT5 is on more than one disc.

Because there is one very huge difference between the two. Every single PS3 has a hard drive right out of the box. So, if multiple discs require an install to the hard drive every single PS3 owner can have the full experience without any extra purchase..

No XBox 360 Arcade has a hard drive out of the box. Forza 3's second disc, which contains the Nurburgring if the Internet is accurate, must be installed to a hard drive to be accessed. So, unless 360 Arcade owners have bought an add-on hard drive they cannot use the second disc. That is the problem with Forza 3 being on multiple discs. No fanboyism required to see a marketing screw up.

So, just because GT5 may be on 3 discs it does not excuse Forza 3 eliminating a large chunk of content from a portion of their audience.

Pardon me... I have a hard drive on my xbox 360 that came with the unit. In terms of swapping out the HD's for a larger one, it's not as straight forward as the PS3 phat.

Well that is a valid point it was rarely an argument used against F3 and the use of 2 discs. Most of the time it was "Turn 10 couldn't fit it one disc because they suck".

Now with the possibility of GT5 being the same way(although highly unlikely) people are fine with it.
 
The speculation around the 3 disc box is driving me insane and all these "theories" are plausible. I tend to side with the 3 disc box being some Mercedes promotion material for dudes that purchase the SLS and perhaps some ins and outs that Polyphony did for Benz. I highly doubt that GT5 will be 3 discs large. They said development time for this game was 5 years, just as it was for the original GT. That being said, they also had to start from the ground up building this game essentially from scratch. So 3 disc game at 50GB per disc? Really guys? Maybe more wishful thinking on our parts :) And no problem with that!

As far as I know switching the hardware is simpler as you can't accidentally buy the wrong kind, since there is only one kind. Transferring data is a different issue altogether though, as well as the pricing.

Oh, and PS3 slim or phat has no bearing on being able to swap hard drives.

Well, I think that is more of a result of console fanboyism that is an extension of the MGS4 situation. And while many making comments about Forza may be just spouting off, there is a significant issue with the Forza situation. But I can't expect unreasonable complainers to have a reasonable basis behind their
fanboy rants.

For me the two disc issue became a problem when I was planning to buy an Arcade primarily for Forza 3 only to find out that would be a mistake.

My Friends got Forza 3, and there's a second DLC tomorrow, so why couldn't they put it on the game :confused:

Wrong thread there, and your user title is a big fat "No!"

Back on topic, why is it so hard for people to believe GT5 could be spread amongst multiple discs? I mean, 50GB isn't some supernatural threshold, hell, I could use that space in a few hours with all of the crap I do. I recall a few games that have tipped 175-gigs in raw allocation sizes, but were re-evaluated to heavily decrease installation times (I'm referring to computer games here) resulting in multiple discs.

If it comes on three discs as the game itself, then, yay.

If it doesn't and it's just one disc with extras, then, yay.

50GB is not some magical limit, but it IS a very large number to get near even. I think most games that have broken the 25GB barrier have done so with the help of lots of uncompressed audio and FMV.

So saying breaking 50GB is nothing magical other than that is the number at which it would move to 2BDs, but it's also like saying what's so specially about being a billionare. There is nothing magical about that number other than it's a nice round one, but most people don't get there just like 50GB games.
 
I know whatever that massive package is wont cost $60.
At least not if NFS:crap cost $60, but with that logic GT5 would cost like $1000 :lol:
 
Are we sure we aren't staring at something along the lines of an entertainment pack?
 
i thinks the first one is for GT1, GT2 along with speceal features and stuff. while the second disc would be for GT3, GT4 with speceal features and stuff. then the third would be GT5.

who know this might be what I have been wanting for, for a long time. the complete colection on blu-ray. I have most of the collection cept some demo discs allready but this idea would be great. and to top it off it would be cool if the GT1, GT2 would be downloadable to PSP. sweet dreams.
 
ugh...if they want to, they can put all of the GTs including the GT5 on a single BR disc man, do your research. And btw, they DON'T want that, since they can still sell the older GTs alone and get MONEY,so forget it. Also, the game certainly comes on one disc(black/transparent one with text) and those other two items might as well be booklets(white sides). One will definitely be an illustrated manual thingy, the other one...I have no clue...but bear in mind,BR discs are expensive and there will be just one BR disc inside,I'm pretty sure of it.
 
black= game
red= manual/literature
blue= gttv/swag/3dglases?

I think the game is only 1 disk. in this video you get a better shot and only the black/clear case has the games name written on the spine and a logo that the other 2 do not have. I highly doubt that you will need 2x50gb disks as most games on the market have not even filled up 1 yet.

AND so far all the ps3 game disks come in the same clear case. I dont think that both the other 2 have disks and that is why there case is not clear.

I think the game will only be the 1 clear case and this is just a special edition box set with 2 bonus cases of goodies.

look at 0:52

I doubt that, I mean a dual layer bd disk can hold 5 dual layer dvds with no issue. If they did give us legacy games they could all fit on one disk.
