Battlefield 3 Spans 2 Discs On Xbox 360

Yes, we know. Another news story about the number of discs a game will take up. Last week IGN reported that Skyrim, Bethesda's sprawling world populated by Dragons, will squeeze itself nicely onto just one Xbox 360 disc.


Battlefield 3,
DICE's graphically-intensive shooter, however, may require two discs.
The incredibly reliable source for this news is a Japanese poster,
spotted in a shop and posted by Hachimaki, which lists the Xbox version as shippin on "DVD-ROMx2".


It also states that the PlayStation 3 version comes on "BD ROM x1".
Obviously it's not clear whether you'll have to change discs mid-way
through the campaign or whether single-player and multi-player will be
divided. Apart from stoking fanboy flames, does it really matter if you
have to get up once or twice? Let us know in the comments below.


Battlefield 3 is out on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on October 25 in the US and October 28 in Europe.
