Mass Effect 2 to ship on two discs

Bioware has confirmed that Mass Effect 2's galaxy is too large to fit on a single DVD, with the game instead spread across two DVD discs.

Both the PC and Xbox 360 versions will ship on two discs, with the Xbox 360 version requiring a single disc swap at a "carefully planned place in the game."

The PC version will require players to install both discs then insert the first disc to boot the game.

Mass Effect 2 is out in January - we'll bring you all the news and our full review before then!
