I didn't know that San Andreas use DualDisc for PS2. What does it mean?

I dunno, but the game is alot larger than the previous ones, with all the extra features and fitting all one one normal discs seems a bit strange though. Dual layered discs, sounds like u can get twice the amount of info on so im guessing thats what its all about..

I don't know....the GTA: San Andreas looks and feels just like any other PS2 disc I have...but I'm not sure if there's something else going on there...

is it like Simple Plan's CD where one side is something and the other is another thing (SPlan has CD on one DVD on other?)

Don't see why they would do it for GTA though, surely the PS2 will have old readers and wont be able to take advantage of the higher res options?

I think that story is on something different, Dual-layered disks have been around for a while, thats how they can fit some long movies on a single disk
