Red Dead Redemption 2 retail copy will ship with 2 Blu-Ray discs ?
- Thread starter Rodjer
- Start date
Weird. Isn't the largest non-UHD Blu-Ray 300GB+?
I guess they just went the cheap route and used the smallest cheapest discs? Lame.

Nah it's not cheaping, Take-Two did the same thing with X-COM 2 on consoles, two discs.
I think PS4 can't read 100GB + BD discs.
My XCOM 2 on PS4 (PAL) only has one disc. Maybe it's different elsewhere?
I said non-UHD. It can't even read high capacity basic Blu-Rays?
I'll be disappointed if true. It's a great thing for those with data caps or slow download speeds because now you an option that works to your situation, but I've no need for 2 discs. My internet is fast and it can ruin the experience when having to stop to insert disc 2.
I guess it's the ideal thing to do for the lowest common denominator.

Referring to complete edition, shadow of war also pal has two discs
So what about everyone us ? Multiple choice is great for everyone.
I don't have a stable internet, rural England. I'm lucky to even stream a movie without buffer
You'll probably have to only swap disks when first installing it. After that, one of them should be the disk that is used to boot up the game and then there is no need for swapping disks.

If I'm not mistaken, it's more an issue of the PS4 disc drive not being able to accept them, due to their extra thickness. I don't think anything consumer-facing does for that same reason.
1) There's very little chance that you'll have to swap disc during a play session
2) you can buy it digitally
Nope, PS4 and basic XB1 are capped at 50GB Blu-ray discs. We've no idea if XB1X supports high-capacity BD outside of UHD Blu-ray support.
Well, that's all dandy, but here in Pakistan, this means that the game will be for atleast double the price for this reason. Shops here love exploiting their customers. We're so fucked.
You realise you dont have to swap discs midgame? Those times are over mate.
You only have to put disc 2 one time during the installation.
Although I dont mind with data caps and download (my download speeds probably are faster than disc read..) I want to buy a Physical version that, even its need a day one patch to correct some things, is playable.
So I welcome the 2 discs.
Nobody has to change a disc mid game, use your head please.
It's pretty amazing from Rockstar, they could've easily just put 50GB on it with the rest as download via patch, how many games are doing it today.
Much respect for that.
Far better than a huge day 1 download for disc buyers. Some of my friends are specifically getting physical copies due to their shitty internet, so this will be welcome news for them.
The drives in all PS4 models are fully capable of reading higher capacity discs. It just requires manufacturers to update the software for those drives. In reality, multi layered discs used for UHD Blu Rays are no different to your bog standard single layer ones from when the media was first introduced back in 2005.
Yes. Disc 2 would be for installing the extra data only. Not needed to play the game.
There won't be disc switching. All game data runs from the HDD. Disc is only a key to start the game so only 1 is needed to play the game.
Omg he's so thicc
