53 gig is pretty standard for a PS game these days, XBox still use DVDs which are formatted to the max of 15 or so gig so about double a dual layer DVD.

PS since PS3 have always used dual layer blu-rays which hold 60 gigs of data.

A lot of PS games use HD audio and HD textures whereas the XBox gets compressed audio and textures.
