Interesting post from one of the developers on the Star Citizen forums:

The size and number of assets that are left to deliver means that our client size is much more likely to be 100gb.

I like the look of the game (but not the moronic + confusing pricing structure in place) but I really can't see myself downloading 100gig.
Buying it retail would be 10+ dual-layer DVD's or 2/3+ blurays (not that I know anyone with a PC with a bluray installed.
I guess the devs could sell it on USB flash drives/memory sticks, but that increase costs further unless they get some sort of sponsorship/branding deal with the likes of Corsair, Sandisk, Kingston etc.
And so is the Golden City blackened

I have a blu ray writer :)

100GB is not too bad, though I feel sorry for people with shit internets.

Game is gonna be online anyway so they will just sell DVD with launcher on that downloads game with a notice saying "*this game requires an internet connection" on the box

That's technology for you Balazs12, the days of games being on 1 CD and using 500meg of space are long gone.

Some games might come loaded on a USB v3 flash drive (if they don't cut too much into game profits) but for now we either:
Install off multiple DVDs like GTA 5 and its 7 DVDs.
Install a bluray drive.
Download the game and hope Internet Services Providers improve their current capabilities.

Oh and, Elite: Dangerous is currently between 2 and 7 gig. Depending on who you believe:
The Elite: Dangerous forums, or the Steam Store page.
