Thanks for the info guys.
Can someone who transfered Lost Odyssey on the HDD confirm this?

I tought there was no need for Disc swapping if you let Disc1 in the tray.


BTW, 360 disc transfer IS NOT a game install.
Totally different from the PS3 install.

There is no decompilation of files, no back and forth transfer from Disc and HDD.
The 360 disc transfer is only a DATA MOVE.
A disc ISO.
A disc image on the Hard Drive.

The PS3 is creating distinct files on the PS3 hard drive, like on a PC install.
Totally different approach.

But lets not mince words here. 

Both times it involves you waiting for a bar to go across a screen, Amirite?  That's the part people acutally care about.  It's not about ISOs and whatnot, it's about space for the save, and time. 

No need for confirmation from someone else, MS themselves have said that you have to put each disc in.  It's wholly true.  But I didn't install LO, so IDK.

I still think people should get whatever version they want, but by and large, they're going to be the same exact thing, except for controller preference.

I think your missing the point here. Now installs are available on 360, if a feveloper optimizes the game when the game is chosen for install, every game that is installed on 360 has the ability to perform better than it's PS3 counterpart. Because it never ever has to access the disc other than the first 10 secs to make sure you own the game.

PS3 install still has to read off the bluray as well as HDD.

Yes you do have to load each disc on, but the performance can be better with installs now on 360. Can read data much faster than any DVD or BD spinning disc.

Any game in 2009 that is coming to 360 can be optimized for those who install. So it provides a decent reason for people to do it, performance gain, as well as noisless console.

Agreed.

Developers can optimize for downloads.  We'll see what 2009 brings on that front.

 

 That being said the PS3 version will sell alot more. I think JRPG owners bought the PS3 in general. How you guys have held out this long for JRPG's is beyond me. I owned and loved PS2 mainly due to the variety of RPG's. When I originally bought my 360 I expected to have to buy a PS3 awhile ago for RPG's. I have been pleasantly surprised that I have had no need to. M$ have done a tremendous job of providing the 360 with a wealth of RPG exclusives.

But I'm happy that when FF13 is released all PS3 and 360 fans can talk about how (hopefully) good FF13 is. What I hope when it's released is no talk about which version is marginally better, but how we all loved X and Y.

MAybe it will be bring a few fanboys together for awhile. :)
