Wow, the iPod changed the music game and now it is really about to completely change the video world. What’s next?

I wonder how big the download for Metal Gear Solid is going to be considering 80% of the typical game is cut-scenes.

I don’t think it’ll be absolutely monstrous size…after all the PSP version didn’t have the ZOMGWOW cutscenes that its console big brother had. But it was still cool and had voice acting.
I only hope they get David Hayter to reprise his role as Snake…as a MGS fan since the beginning, I’m REALLY looking forward to this, and hoping they don’t foul it up somehow…
