Rage content cut due to Xbox 360 size limit, uhh, no it's not

In an interesting twist of events last night on 1UP, id Software's Tim Willits first leaked some concerns about their upcoming title Rage being held back due to the limitations of the Xbox 360 DVD medium. This combined with the Microsoft royalties system that makes anything over two disks a huge financial risk would supposedly have led to id Software cutting some content and going from six smaller maps to two larger ones.
"I wouldn't say the overall story was changed in any way in order to fit on the Xbox 360 version," dixit Willits, "but how the player experiences Rage's story has been altered."
Reading between the lines there was a hidden statement that all versions of the game would be affected by the Xbox size limitations.

However, later that night Willits issues a statement to Shacknews making it clear that no content was cut, whatsoever just moved around a bit to prevent loading whilst driving around.
"During my talk today I mentioned that we originally wanted to have around 5 or 6 smaller wasteland environments but later decided instead to have 2 larger wastelands. Mostly because we were going to be shipping on two DVDs for the 360 and felt that it would play better with one large wasteland on each disc so there would be no loading between wastelands. Not loading levels while you drive around is a much better decision regardless of platform.

There was NO CONTENT removed from RAGE because of the 360--NONE AT ALL. Moving from multiple wastelands into fewer but larger wastelands was a far better decision and is actually giving us more gameplay in the game.

We feel the 360 is a great platform and will provide a fantastic Rage experience."
I'm getting this one on PC anyway, but it does make one wonder when Microsoft might do something about the DVD size issue. Blu-ray anyone?
