Bold is mine, think U meant decrease, but anyway that'd suck, another good argument for a DVD version! It could be pressed on 800mb+ CDs (870mb, 900 etc.) but that would make it more expensive, plus these CD's are not 100% compatible with all drives. Personally I think everyone should have a DVD drive by now, and this game would be a good reason to get one (they go for less than 30€!). I really don't see why we should still be disc-swapping.
