Re-writable? If that's so, suddenly the size actually matters. Seriously, textures take up a chunk of space, but 60 gigs worth? I mean, a lot of games on PCs these days reside on the hard disk completely (the disks are just used to verify) and patches and such have done a job of making them take up a large amount of space, but even the latest PC games like Doom 3 don't take up that much space.
"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)
