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.

When I was getting into PC gaming, I bought Wolfenstein the new Order as a DVD. What it turned out to be was Wolfenstein the new order.... on steam, with several DVDs (4-8) that had the games data. I installed it this way once and never again.
