I am very interested to see what they do with all the content, how well it compresses.

The game itself is very good, buy at, at least on PC!

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Does anyone have any information about this new Codec? If 7.5 GB can be compressed into a 128 MB cartridge imagine what can be compressed into 512 MB or even a 2 GB SD card.

I would imagine the compression would be complete shite for a job of that size surely.

Would be a miracle to pull that off without making some large sacrifice, especially dubious of the fact it's apparently down to one codec.

Well, the Xbox 360 does not natively read HD dvds which are 20 plus GBs. Instead the data is compressed to fit onto Dvd 9 discs which are 8.7 GBs. Xbox 360 games still look good. Maybe Nintendo developed a new compression technology. Who knows.

Here is a link to the C3 article concerning the Codec.
