the 360 version will not take up 45-60 GB. Alot of the reason PS3 games take up so much memory is only partially due to the HD visuals but alot of the data us redundant on the disk to help improve load times because BD read is only 2X on the PS3. the 360 has a 12X dvd drive so it dosnt need this redundant code.

dont quote me but i swear i read this in an assload of places a couple years ago

I'm also asking not to be quoted on this, but I do believe this is true, however slightly misleading. It would appear that the drive is 6x slower on the PS3, but if I remember correctly, Blu Rays do not need to spin as fast to read the same data. I think the discrepancy is only 2:1 in favor of the 360's DVD drive. It might be a little less or more though.

 

 

I just created a thread on this because I think a lot of people should read it, and I don't want to derail this thread. So click the linky.

PS: The answer is, slightly less than 2:1
