^^ I just cant help but feel MS's policy to not include a HDD in every 360 like they did in the XBOX is starting to screw them over. This is one of the examples. MS have so far had the perfect move- they took the best selling series on the PSone/2 and got it for the 360. But this 576p is kinda making the 360 look weaker instead of making them look like equals. The visual differences are apparent, well to me atleast- and a game like FF13 where the visual art is prolly its main selling point- This seems like a HUGE LET DOWN.

It is MS's fault because if the 360 had an install option- they could have made up for the performance hit with higher quality textures and better loading from the HDD. Instead SE had to ensure that the game ran pretty much the same on the arcade/elite/premium.

I was pretty glad that I wouldnt have to shell out cash on the ps3slim and I got my fix at my frnds, but looking at these pics I feel a lil punked. Im gonna be paying the same for a game that requires swapping, features lower quality FMV/audio and now a lower resolution too.. I mean I wouldnt mind if the ps3 had an extra weed in the background or whatever but this is simply a big FAUX PAUX- and SE are gonna lose some potential sales because of this.

Case in point- bayonetta. Awesome game suffers crappy port.

You know, this doesn't really have anything to do with the harddrive (or lack thereof). It's a matter of FF13 being already very customized for the PS3 when the porting to the 360 began.
