Max Payne 3 will come on 2 discs for Xbox 360 and you need both

In yet another sign of the DVD format reaching its end Rockstar have revealed that Max Payne 3 will be coming out on 2 discs for the Xbox 360.

However they’ve shaken things up a bit and have put the entire multiplayer on disc 1 and half the single player with the second part of the single player on disc 2.

Why does this matter and why have they moved the multiplayer to disc 1?

Well this is where the tinfoil hats come out. the initial 2 disc announcement was made by a company called Redbox in the USA, Redbox is a hugely popular game rental company but according to Rockstar Redbox only ever send out 1 disc.

Therefore by putting the single player campaign on 2 discs Rockstar have ensured that anyone who gets hooked into the game is going to have to go out and buy the game to complete it, or rent it from somewhere else that sends both discs.

Have Rockstar done this on purpose? I seriously doubt they’ll admit to it but at the same time it’s quite a smart idea and one that will only backfire on Redbox while possibly upping Max Payne 3 sales.

So question time, is Rockstar being a little immoral here or are they doing nothing wrong?

    It’s not Rockstar’s fault. It’s those money-grabbing cash-whores at Microsoft.
