Official Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots thead

It's exclusive? I thought it was going to be one of those games that are "exclusive" for about a year and then appear on a rival console.

I don't have a PS3, just a Wii although I wouldn't mind a 360. I don't have the money to spare for a 360 right now though.
The last MGS game I played through was MGS2, I bought MGS3 on release but somehow it didn't grasp me like the others but I am interested how the story will end in MGS4.

If I ever get around to buying a 360 and if MGS4 makes it to 360 I might give it a shot.

Kojima said that he couldn't fit all of the game onto a 50 GB Blu Ray disc without cutting out the multi-language tracks, so I doubt that this game would see the light on the 360 unless they can make a 50 gig DVD or something like that (the notion that the game he wanted to make is ABOVE 50 gigs has me wondering what in the fuck this guy had in mind).

Not saying that it couldn't happen, but the chances are VERY slim that it would be able to be ported without some SERIOUS compression that would gimp the game in a HUGE way. And even then, I doubt that it would fit on any less than three DVD-9s given that 50 GB stuff.

Most of the stuff taking up that 50GB will most likely be Uncompressed Audio and Texture files. Uncompressed Audio will take up a shit load of space so with Microsofts Compression Software that would aid it significantly. I could see them being able to fit it onto 2 DVDs.

As for the game itself, I don't own a PS3 but I'm interested in MGS4. Only problem is I didn't enjoy MGS3 that much so I'm not intending on a buying a PS3 for this.
