I guess it is because of cutscenes with multi language xD

Last year I got rid of my DVD drive because "Hell I never use it and I can put another fan in there"
Oh what a fool i've been, DAMN THEM
3 days of downloading it is then.

Sounds like it's time to upgrade my gaming dedicated SSD from 256 to 512GB then...

Licensing, people don't want to pay Sony to use Blu-Ray....
Looks like I'm bringing my computer to work to download this one! I need some straps for it lol.

I should think that there is some compression so the download wont be near 65gb.

Yeah its a shame we have to fill our hard drive space with useful data for something we have purchased rather than leaving it free doing nothing 😉

Glad ive got a couple of 1TB SSDs :P

I guess mp3 licenses are getting expensive...
This smells of not wanting to compress audio files or video files too much. Like when EA just dump a ton of uncompressed audio on the install because they probably didn't want to pay a royalty to someone.

You took the words right out of my mouth 😀

65GB...
That's a big chunk of SSD and super-long loading times.
256GB SSDs stop being enough. Diablo 3 is 20GB, CoD:AF is around 40, BF4 57GB, and now this.Argh!

I'm trying to imagine somebody carrying his rig like a backpack with two straps 😀 Hilarious

If this were being released by Ubisoft we would all would be trying to play a steaming pile of dung right now. I have no problem waiting longer for a working game. As for the size of the game. I installed 2 new SSD's last week so bring it on =)

65GB via DVD-ROM? just bizarre
it's been so many years since I last purchased a game on any disc format.
A previous post suggested the downloadable version would have some compression, will the DVD version also have some compression?
assuming they are not shipping on double sided, dual layered discs (DVD-18) I suppose they will come on DVD-9, DVD-10 or DVD-14 (capacities range from 7.95 to 12.33 GB) - so how many discs will this require?
time for folk to get better ISP / lines, or pester the government to come good on their promises of rolling out super speed broadband to folk who aint got it yet!
I get a good constant 150Mbps any time of day when downloading from steam so I'm good
bizarre

I wonder if they will ship it on Blu-ray for PC??
Granted I'd imagine the 65GB is the full uncompressed size... I'd hope it would be delivered on disk or digitally compressed to some extent?

I thought Sony lost exclusivity on BD a while ago?
