Will ESO be a 60gb download?

Will it require a 60gb download or will the Full Installer be on dvd? I recently bought wow for my nephew and all the was was a 1mb file on the dvd linking us to the online installer making it impossible to download the game as we live in the country and there is no unlimted internet out here. Does anyone know if ESO will be doing the same thing or will they be puting the 60gb install on dvds.

Not the D/L size, but it takes 60 GB to install (temp space) and it "lives" on your HD at 30 GB.

This is certainly a good question. First and foremost I cannot say for sure if the physical copy will have the bulk of the data needed to install this game, however it's quite feasible that major content patches in the future for this game will require a couple of gigabytes of download so depending on how much those patches end up being and your own limited download cap it might not be feasible.

I'm not even sure if it's possible to get DVDs with store capacity in the range of 50 gigabytes even with all the disc layering in the world, how many DVDs would there have to be in the box? Blu-ray discs exist for a reason.

That's the beta. I'm not sure what the final size will be but with all the territories included it could be quite a bit larger. I freed up 70G on my SSD, just to be safe.
