You doubt they could fit 8 onto the disk? Pfft... Trust me, that's easily done. Those booklets average about 15 pages in size, and they aren't all that large. A decent resolution of each page would take up, most likely, half a meg each. Multiply that by 8x15 and you have roughly what you can expect in space consumption. That comes to about 60 MB. Assuming the average is off, or the image size is larger, I'd stretch that to, at max, 100 MB. I'm sure they would have room for that on at least the PS2 disk, and that it wouldn't be THAT much further to get it to fit on the GCN disk. Consider just how much normal artwork they crammed on BOTH.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
