14 DAY TRIAL // A brand new report concerning the upcoming Battlefield 3 first person shooter has arrived from Japan, of all places, with a poster saying that the game will ship on two DVDs for the Xbox 360 and just one Blu-ray disc for the PS3.
Battlefield 3 is scheduled to arrive this October for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, so already a huge amount of gamers are anticipating the new first person shooter from developer DICE and publisher Electronic Arts, especially since it seems to be the first actual competitor for Activision's Call of Duty series, at least in the eyes of EA itself.
Now, as the game is nearing completion and its release date, a special poster from Japan was dug up by gaming blog Esutero, that depicts some key technical information about Battlefield 3.
More specifically, it seems that the new shooter will ship on one Blu-ray disc for the PlayStation 3, as usual for games on that platform, and two DVDs for the Xbox 360 console.
Electronic Arts hasn't commented on the report, but considering Battlefield 3 has an all-new engine, Frostbite 2, as well as lots of new technologies and systems, it's not out of the question for it to not fit on a single DVD.
Quite as few games these days are overstepping the one-disc limit, with the likes of Dead Space 2, occupying two DVDs, or L.A. Noire which arrived on three discs for the Xbox 360.
Meanwhile, the PlayStation 3 with its Blu-ray disc, which fits around 25GB in standard form, has more than enough space for all of its games, and even allows some developers to fill the extra space with demos for other titles, like the new Resistance 3.
What do you think? Is the fact that Battlefield 3 might occupy 2 DVDs on the Xbox 360 going to make you opt for the PlayStation 3 or PC versions of the game? Share your thoughts in a comment below.
