Mass Effect 2 will require 2 discs

Seems the dvd drive is starting to show its age. Going to need two discs to install, thankfully on pc there won't be disc swapping. Xbox 360 users will need to swap discs.

Here's an explanation from Evil Chris on how it works:

Ok some details for you.

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.

Hope this helps.

Not a huge problem IMO.

damn you gotta love pc's eh? yeah they take a load of flack but for seamless gaming they are the best sometimes :D

Or, a Steam download and no discs at all!

I don't mind it can even be on 4 disk (Baldur's Gate 2 style) :D

Since i have ME1 on Xbox i shall get 2 on xbox also. Disc swopping doesn't bother me.

Disk swopping....old school... Got no problem with it

If you do a full install you only had to change your disc 1 or 2 times.
