@sagexsdx, Double layered DVD's only hold 8.5 gb so I would not say GTA IV at 6-7 gb is much less than what a DVD can hold. But the context here is GTA V. GTA V will likely build on IV througha lot more content, just like previous GTA's have done. Compare GTA 3 to GTA San Andreas in terms of content. Apply that to GTA IV to GTA V. It's likely going to require a substantial increase in memory needed. I don't think Rockstar would state this themselves, right before GTA IV launches, that GTA V could be too large for 360 if it didn't have reason to.
in fact... i own 2 cores and 1 arcade... and i have 2 hard drives... don't ask me why i have so many core/arcades vs having premiums... the situations each time made it a better or only choice =P
Given that presales are higher on PS3 in UK and Australia, and presales may be lower than a few 2007 games in NA, with 360 very likely to have more sales. I think this may be reflecting GTA's routes on the PS2 & more significantly to note, that many of those PS2 & GTA owners have yet to upgrade to PS3 and that some of them may have jumped to Wii.
Of course some may have jumped to 360 too, but that should be reflected to a large degree in 360 GTA IV sales, which shows outside of NA so far many of those PS2 & GTA owners have not jumped to 360, whereas in NA some have. I think the most significant potential finding out of all of this is that many of those past GTA owners have likely not upgraded to PS3 yet or are playing Wiis now. Come launch we will be able to gain significant insight into all of this, which is exciting.
@CrAzZyYmAn, I thought that modded X360 was "bricked" during the crackdown / Halo 3 demo ? Are there significant "unbricked" modded X360 remained in the wild ?

You can only use Microsoft manufactured HD units with X360
@Joe80,
X360 game disc only has 6.8GB usable space for game data so GTA IV is already close to maximal capacity of the disc.
