Regarding loading times, Microsoft has announced that the new firmware will allow the (optional) installation of games to the HDD. Compare that to PS3's frequent mandatory installations.

This will give you the best of both worlds - no installation if you don't want it, and faster loading times if you're willing to wait the time for installation.

By the way... before you tell me that FFXIII wouldn't fit on a 20 GB hard drive if it has a lot of discs, consider that you probably don't need to install the discs all at once... Each disc probably works as its own game. We'd then have a situation comparable to MGS4 in which there were multiple installations as the game progressed.

Conclusion: PS3 fanboys better not bring up loading times anymore, unless they want to get owned by logic each time they do it.

 

Hmm but Hard drives still aren't standard on the 360 and installing FFXII on your hard drive would take a signifant amount of space unless you've bought an additional overly expensive hard drive . Load times may have been reduced by full game isntallations but they bring other problems.
