GTA 5 fills how many discs on PC?

And you were worried about how long it might take to download. Take a look at all those discs awaiting anyone who fancies the old fashioned retail route on PC rather than a digital version. Given GTA 5's requirement for 65 GB of available hard drive space on PC it shouldn't actually be that much of a surprise to see so many DVDs, but it is. In today's age of downloads and 50GB Blu-rays you forget just how big games actually are. All that code, music and textures have to live somewhere and in this case that on almost an entire shelf.
