Size does matter: Project Gotham Racing 4 is too big for DVD

Microsoft took some criticism in the beginning of the Xbox 360’s life because of their choice to continue to support the standard DVD format for their game titles. They defended themselves saying that the DVD storage medium was more than enough space for upcoming games with their new compression techniques, but now it seems that the format’s limitations have causes a negative effect on one Xbox 360 title.
Bizarre Creation says that the DVD format is too small to fit all of the features they wanted to include in Project Gotham Racing 4. A Bizarre Creation’s staff member says:
