Since when does the game length depend on the number of disc? You seem to have no idea of the game size. A DVD (double layer) has a maximum total size of 9.4 GB. Halo 2 took 2.8 GB and was a complete game (Campaign, Multiplayer etc). The biggest game so far on Xbox 360 is Oblivion which takes 4.1 GB and has a 16 square miles map, thousands of objects with their own 3d model, texture maps, animations and properties. Oblivion also has like 100 hours of audio (i'm not sure of the exact number). No Xbox game will be on 2 discs, ever (except bonus LE DVD). I doubt an Xbox 360 will ever get close to reach the maximum size of a double-layer DVD, and next generation Xbox's game will probably be on HD-DVD.

You should of made up your own instrument. You could have named it the PolarLighting -a-phone. People would buy it and they would all be like "Awh, He's so cool for inventing the PolarLighting-a-phone."

Those are some nice facts. And yeah, if there is another disc it'll be the dvd and other extras.

well i wouldnt say no xbox game will be on more than one disc ever. your right though, ill be surprised if there is, but if some game comes for the 360 that has alot of cgi, it could require more than one disc.
