Mass Effect 2 is the upcoming role playing game from BioWare, and earlier we reported that the game’s PC specs and DRM information had been revealed. Now it has come to light via the official Mass Effect 2 forums that Mass Effect 2 will for the PC and Xbox 360 will come on two discs.
While this won’t make much of a difference to the PC version (apart from taking up more HD space) which will simply have a two disc install instead of the one, Xbox 360 owners will be plagued by the very thought of having to swap discs in between play. But Chris Priestly, Community Coordinator of BioWare, reassures 360 games that this is not so bad.
“Even though there is a disc swap, it occurs at a carefully planned place in the game (that does not interfere with gameplay) and is done once,” Priestly writes on the Mass Effect 2 forums. “You do not swap back and forth. 1 swap and then done.”
A third disc will be included in the Collector’s Edition which will contain ‘making of’, and other bonus information. And as Priestly rationalizes, two discs are better than one because “you cannot fit this much awesome on one disc”.
