yeah.. found the Aby collection new/sealed or XB360 for 170 last week for someone on Amazon. So if the media is still in mint condition, could ask a nice price for it I guess, even though it doesn't have a code to use. Only $20 for a code and they also get the PC DLC in case they want to migrate to PC one day.

Not only that but if you redeem the code on Xbox it gives access to them as well, Abyssea + Add-ons if not all of it.

yeah.. might have to make it 2 Discs though (unless they use a dual layer disc). It's getting to be a bit of a monster though. Even the 8.5GB on a dual layer might not cut it with all the new assets, even with the compression. I'm sure there will be a new collection package eventually after it's been out for a bit as a standalone expansion. They've had a history of releasing them for about 6 or 7 years now.

TAU and WoG were both only on 1 disk as the stand alone expansion. They'd never realease it as an "ultimate" set to begin with, less money.

not initially... but 3-6 months down the line maybe. They've cranked out like 4 or 5 all inclusive collections already. Remember the timing of the $10 ASA launch....on the same day they announced the new collection that contained everything released to date...for like $20 or something?

They've been doing some strange things the last couple of years.

Edit:
As for how much space it would require, that would depend on how it's packaged for installation. The 2005/2006 Vanadiel Collection (up through CoP) had 3 sepearate installation folders, and the disc was right at 4GB. The 2010 UC DLC package was an installer and 3 compressed libraries that ran as a single install, and it ran 4.3GB. That puts it to one full DVD-5 already following that type of package, leaving up to around 4GB of space if put on a standard dual-layer disc (8.5GB). TAU was the last expansion with all new assets (WotG recycled alot--it was only @ 350MB on disc) and it was only about 1GB on disc. So yes, there is likely enough room to put it all on a dual layer...but DL can be more costly than SL to produce. Granted, now days it isn't as drastic as it used to be....but can still cost more.
