We've contacted EA for comment.

Last year, Lost Planet 2 producer Jun Takeuchi said that Capcom had to cut (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/235556/lost-planet-2-360-significantly-cut/) a significant amount of content from the Xbox 360 version of the game due to size issues with its DVD format.

Microsoft has seemingly acknowledged what developers such as Castlevania: Lords of Shadow creator Mercury Steam have labelled an Xbox 360 "storage problem" (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/258080/xboxs-lack-of-blu-ray-a-problem-for-developers/). In March, the platform holder reportedly began trialling (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/295976/xbox-360-disc-update-adds-1gb-extra-storage-report/) a new disc format that will add an extra 1GB of storage to Xbox 360's ageing 7.95GB DVD format.

Back in May, LA Noire shipped on three discs (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/300355/la-noire-to-ship-on-three-discs-on-xbox-360/) for Xbox 360.
