Your wrong again you wally resistance fall of man only had 4.5 GB game.

Your one of millions of PS3 fan boys that has been brain washed by sony hook line and sinker. All because of the now infamous Resistance fall of man 22GB Blu-ray marketing scam.

If you type "Resistance Fall of man disk space" as a search you will get millions of results explaning how Insomniac added 17.75 of unessasary padding files.

Resistance: Fall of Man was billed to be the defining game for why Blu-ray exists in the first place. Resistance developers Insomniac stated that the game took up 22 GB of space and that all those bits and bytes were necessary to make the game work.

A gamer exsposed Insomniac and unveild by ripping the disk in Linux shows otherwise.

A NeoGAF forum member by the name of squatingyeti who is now world famous posted a long list of padding files on the Resistance disk; the padding took up approximately 17.75GB of space. Padding is frequently used to push data to the outer edges of the disk to improve read times, but Blu-ray is supposed to be a constant read over the entire disk.

This was then investigated buy the gaming governing bodys and confirmation in a report proved that the actual game only used 4.5GB

And it proved that 81% of Resistance is just empty filler and the actual game itself was only 4.5GB and could fit on a single-layer DVD.

This has put a hole in Sony's claim that Blu-ray is absolutely necessary this generation.

The 17.75GB padding was not needed to make the read speeds any better and is a lame way for Sony to justify Blu-ray for gaming.

Sony and Insomniac are going court soon because of this and it could cost sony millions.

Doh

Also a normal xbox 360 dual layer DVD is 9.5 GB but microsoft said that the xbox 360 hybrid DVD's can be increased to up to 60GB by dual layering if needed.
