The game will fit on a DVD 9. I'm sure sony will use Mpeg 2 for the cutscenes since they use the same thing on their blu-ray movies. While Microsoft uses VC-1 which will cut the size of the file by a factor of 3 and still yield a picture that is better than MPEG 2. Also games like Oblivion which was rumor to be the size of 4 DVD-9s before compression was only 5Gb in size after microsoft was done with it. They also cut loading times by 600%. I think Kojima means in it's present state the MGS4 game won't fit on a DVD-9 since it isn't optimized for the xbox 360 but for the ps3. The coding for the ps3 could be huge for all we know.
