Something else, it seems to me that 5.7G is rather large for a racing game. I mean, the game has awesome detail and stuff, but i'm still not convinced it would be this large.

I looked at all the files and it seems that Microsoft has done 1 of 2 things. They either used absolutely no compression on any of the files like most companies do, or they added "dummy.bin" type of stuff to each and every file before they compressed them.

If it is my second theory, it means someone would have to create a tool to uncompress each file 1 at a time, get rid of the excess stuff, and then recompress it to a smaller file. That would be a lot of work though, and like i said, you'd really only need to burn it to disc for back up purposes. It's much better to play from the HD.
