Every MGS has made it to the xbox, I don't see how it's going to be any different this time around.
Unless the 360 version is totally gimped, there's no way it will appear on the system without at least 4 discs or on an HD-DVD (thereby alienating the early-adopters). There are interviews suggesting that it probably won't fit on 25 GB's.
Xbox 360 can't play games off HD-DVD.
You know, probably 90% of the 25 GB would be FMV. That's really the only way to fill up that much space. The effort necessary to fill up that much space with game data - code, maps, models, textures, etc - would be incredible. Not to mention if you did fill up that much space with game data, the PS3's memory would become a huge bottleneck - you'd either have to copy it all to the hard drive or deal with frequent loading screens. All that to say, it's most likely FMV which can be reduced in size and compressed. Reduce it from 1080p to 720p and you have a substantial savings right there.
Maybe 2 DVD-9s. Is switching discs really that big a deal? Playstation Final Fantasy games came on 3+ CDs.
Cut-scenes FTW!!! One of the oldest in Sony's bag of tricks.
