Report: GTA 5 PC Retail Copy Takes Up 7 Discs

[Dohc-WP]

Retail copies of the upcoming PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5 will presumably ship in a 7-disc box set.

Originally posted on Reddit, the image below shows the 7 DVD set in all its glory. The source of the image isn't yet known, but the 18+ ratings marking on the front of the box doesn't match the standardized ESRB symbols, suggesting a non-US market.

Another photo of the box set was posted the Twitter account Grand Theft Auto Feed as well:

When Rockstar shared GTA 5 PC's system requirements, it was revealed that the game requires 65GB of hard drive space. As some Reddit commenters have pointed out, even if all seven of the discs above are dual-layered, they add up to around 60GB -- 5GB slimmer than the digital download.

Grand Theft Auto V is available on Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, and PS3. The PC version will be released on April 14.

Time for PC to adopt Blu-Ray. Seriously, it should've happened years ago.

So if it's 5GB slimmer does that mean it be another 5GB download, or is that 5 gig crammed into those discs?

I recall GTA San Andreas had 2 versions the DVD version and the CD version. The latter came on something like 5 or 6 discs.
