The 6.8 GB install for Fable 2 only taking 12 min. sounds great, yeah for no spinning discs.

Yeah MS is going to have to come out with a larger HD to take advantage of this. Of course they will overcharge for it as usual :P My guess is $250 for 300gig lol.



It's just that simple.

Wait, if F2 is 6.8 gbs, with 3.2 gbs remaining why did they skimp so much on the number of outfits and weapons?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

DVD9 discs do not hold 10gb of data.  They hold 6.8 from my understanding.

So a DVD-9 holds 8.54 gbs.  How come none of its' games use this much?  There is no way tha Microsoft has 2gbs of copy protection, especially with all the success pirates are having.

Also, what's with DVD-10, -14, and -18?  Never heard of them.  I take it the 360 isn't capable of utilizing them, or they're really expensive?

I'm not really sure, all i know is what has been posted on this site with links in the past and on beyond3d, and they list the 360 dual layer disc at about 6.8gb.

Sounds like a major improvement from the current version. Wayy better!

You all noobs ;)

360 dvd's use a chunk of the physical space available for security measures - that's why it can't fetch the whole capacity of the disk.
