The sheer number of foxy blue alien women in Mass Effect 2 has pushed the limits of the DVD formatâs storage capabilities. As a result, BioWare is spreading the Xbox 360 and PC game across two discs.
While that wonât mean that much to owners of the PC versionâitâs a two-disc installâpoor Xbox 360 owners will suffer the galactic inconvenience of a disc swap at some point. Chris Priestly, community coordinator of BioWare, says itâs not so bad.
âEven though there is a disc swap, it occurs at a carefully planned place in the game (that does not interfere with gameplay) and is done once,â Priestly wrote on the Mass Effect 2 forums. âYou do not swap back and forth. 1 swap and then done.â
As for that third disc mentioned in the headline of this post? Thatâs only included in the Collectorâs Edition version of Mass Effect 2, offering âmaking ofâ content on a dedicated DVD. Whew!
So, 2 discs then? [Mass Effect 2 Community]
