Rage Xbox 360 may have multiplayer on separate disc

You know those jokes everybody made about Xbox 360 games needing to ship on multiple discs because Blu-ray is ten billion times better than DVDs? Well, it looks like id might finally be the one to make those jokes come true, with talk of Rage needing a second disc on the 360, a disc which may house the entire multiplayer component.

“We’ll probably have two DVDs for sure, and then the question is, will multiplayer be on a separate disc or not?” muses id software boss Todd Hollenshead. “It makes no sense for a player to swap that disc in multiplayer, right? That’s fail. They have to keep one disc in during multiplayer, can you just put all the multiplayer content on one DVD?”

If that’s what needs to be done, that’s what needs to be done. However, the fanboy flame wars are going to be hilarious if this truly comes to pass. Still, let’s bypass that nonsense as I ask the sane people of the Destructoid community: Would needing a second disc for multiplayer bother you, and would it make you think twice about what platform you buy Rage for?
