Didn't realize how hard MGS4's Disc Swap joke hit until I backed it up (programming.dev)

The Clip if you've never seen it before.

Recently I've been archive my PS3 library of games, and I just finished backing up MGS4. Normally a third party PS3 game is between 7-12GB, however MGS4 is 33GB. To play MGS4 on a 360 you'd need like 4-5 DVD's depending on how they compressed it.

Didn't realize how large games were back even a decade ago.

Most Wii games used single layer DVDs, but it had a couple Dual-Layer DVD games, obviously still a lot smaller than Blu-ray. Including Smash, Xenoblade, Metroid Prime Trilogy, and also that Metroid game that shall not be named.

It was not as transparent because it required a system update to support those... and because some Wiis with faulty disc drives had to be replaced because they couldn't read them at all. I had to send mine to support.
