     I think FFXIII 360 will mainly use the feature of the new 360 dashboard where you can store games to your 360's harddrive to compensate for the lack of space on the 360's dvds.  My question about this is would you let FFXIII take up 45 to 60 gigs on your 360's hard drive to play the game?

No way Microsoft will require let anyone require installs for any game, although it is used as an option if you want to cut down on load times.  I'm sure it's gonna be half the size on 360 as on PS3 and almost be exactly the same thing.

 

 

      I don't know usually when you compress something by half there is a very noticable loss in quality.  Eg.  Dvd quality vs. Blu Ray Quality or those normal videos on youtube compared to their hd versions are examples that come to mind.

 

 

Do you really think the difference will be anything close to Blu-Ray vs. YouTube vidoes?  Come on, be serious.  If they put it on 4 discs (or 5) it'll likely be that the vast majority of people wouldn't even notice a difference.  Hell, the 360 version might end up being superior in the end if it has a better average frame rate or resolution or the actual gaming parts look sharper on it.
