BioWare has confirmed that Mass Effect 2 will ship on two DVDs for Xbox 360 and PC. If you buy the Collector’s Edition the set will contain a third DVD packed full of bonus content.
BioWare community coordinator Chris Priestly stated: “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.”
He added: “The Xbox 360 does not have an install and does require disc swapping during play.
“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.”
And why couldn’t the game ship on one game disc? Priestly says it’s “because you cannot fit this much awesome on one disc”.
For more on exactly why Mass Effect 2 is shaping up to be the most awesome game of 2010 check out our recent gargantuan interview with project director Casey Hudson.
