How big do you think FSX wll be space wise?

i think FS8 was like half a gig, and i dont know what FS9 was, but apparently FSX is going to be alot more detailed and complex so, it should take up a whole lot more space correct?

So much space that you won't have any room on your stock hard drive so you will have to spend an additional $100+ for a new hard drive that can hold more room than the "National Archives". ;D

If it's going to be shipped on DVD, I'd assume it's going to be rather large.

FS 98 was a single CD
FS2000 = 2CDs
FS2002 = 3CDs
FS2004 = 4CDs
common sense would tell us that it would be the equivelant of 5 CDs then so 700x5=7500MB or 3.41 GB

probably more when it off the dvd though

I can see the future now. One day, DVDs will be so obsolete that future games/sims will be in multi-DVDs. ;D

Actually, if you read about Sony's new 'Blue Ray' discs (for the PS3), they're supposed to be able to hold something like 53.1 Gigabytes, and dat is alot of bytes! ;)

Aren't those Blue Ray discs just HD DVDs? That's what I heard on G4, but they aren't always reliable.
