The sheer number of foxy blue alien women in Mass Effect 2 has pushed the limits of the DVD format's storage capabilities. As a result, BioWare is spreading the Xbox 360 and PC game across two discs.

While that won't mean that much to owners of the PC version—it's a two-disc install—poor Xbox 360 owners will suffer the galactic inconvenience of a disc swap at some point. Chris Priestly, community coordinator of BioWare, says it's 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 wrote on the Mass Effect 2 forums. "You do not swap back and forth. 1 swap and then done."

It's just the PS3 fanboys stirring shit because they have Blu Ray. How many discs did FFVII come on again? (I know the answer...)

Yeh a disc swap is a lot slower than the likes of a load screen i.e MGS /sarcasm

Ohwell, im loving the fact that there'll be a disc swap....means they're cramming alot into the game, and im A.O.K with that :P

my version will come on no discs... (Steam FTW)

Only problem there is I can't carry my 360 characters over. And I'm not buying Mass Effect 1 on PC, cause it has that crappy DRM
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...
