Forza Motorsport 3 shipped with two discs.
Gran Turismo 5 may ship with three.
In a recent video spotted by
GT Planet, game creative director and speed enthusiast Kazunori Yamauchi talks a bit the Mercedes’ 2011 SLS AMG in relation to the game. It’s a natural thing to talk about -- the sleek car
might grace the cover of the packaging. But when he whipped the game out during the video, it wasn’t just a lone box -- there were three different cases, none of which we’re familiar with.
As
Joystiq notes, signs seem to point towards this being the Collectors or “Special” Edition version of the game. Word on the street is that Blu-rays are pretty big mediums, able to hold significant amounts of data. Surely Polyphony Digital wouldn’t have a problem ramming 87
bajillion cars on a lone disc, right? Hell,
Borderlands fit that many guns on a DVD.

In another shot one of the disc cases is blue, like for a video bluray
If old video's in Home and the teasers in Prologue are to be believed, GT5 incorporates a selection of High Def Racing related TV, what looks like quite a huge selection. Like the GT to real life Dubai race driver reality show thingy etc.
So yeah, I figured it would be a streaming thing, but if the game's shipping with 3 blu-rays, then i'm assuming a fair bit of it's on there.
Or do you mean, like 3 different Versions?
Now, the $60 regular version will be totally worth the coinage involved in obtaining it. Just had to get that out there as an endnote.
I wonder if there will be disc swapping or will they require a full 50-100GB install to play this game.
Wishful thinking, even though that would probably be too much game for anyone in one purchase. I doubt they would need 150gb of data for their new game though.
