New Elder Scrolls to be single disc
Oblivion's massive world squeezes into one Xbox 360 DVD; squashes rumors of a potential four-disc set.
Immersion only goes so far when a game prompts users to insert another disc. The upcoming Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, once rumored to be featured on up to nine discs, will come on one standard Xbox 360 disc. The clarification was made by an employee of the game's developer, Bethesda Softworks, on the game's official forum. The Xbox 360 uses the current-generation DVD-9 as media, which can hold around 9GB of data. Microsoft recently announced that it will release a next-generation HD-DVD peripheral, but only for video playback.
