Two Discs for Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 2 is shaping up to be a sweeping RPG of epic proportions, and it looks like it's so big that the Xbox 360/PC title will be available on two discs.

Here's what BioWare community coordinator Chris Priestley has to say about the two discs in the game's forum:

1 - Yes, there are 2 game discs for both the PC and Xbox 360 versions, both the Collector's and standard editions.

2 - There is a 3rd disc with the Collector's Edition. This is a movie DVD containing making of and other bonus information.

3 - The PC version is a standard install. You install the information from both discs and then play with 1 disc in the drive. No swapping.

4 - The Xbox 360 does not have an install and does require disc swapping during play.

5 - 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. You do not swap back and forth. 1 swap and then done.

6 - Why 2 discs? Answer: Because you cannot fit this much awesome on one disc.

A game going to two discs always makes gamers take notice, but has having to swap discs ever made anyone think twice?
