Something Thats Been Conserning Me Recently...

I know that games install and take usually around 1-5 GIG but why does the XBox 360 only take around 20-100 MB? I compared Dragon Age on PS3 to that of 260 and PS3 is 3GIG and xbox was only 34 MB! I just am not understanding :P

in my opinion, its because microsoft used some outdated stuff for the 360 but the PS3 has up-to-date stuff and the PS3 also has stuff that the 360 dosn't so i think thats why it takes up more space on the PS3

Well technically you are comparing the xbox and PS3...Therefore Starwars is right, System wars is for you my friend.

I believe its because the dvd drive is faster in the 360 compared to the bluray, So to minimize the lag, we still the game parts on our HDD while the 360 just runs it off the disc with a small installation. Correct me if im wrong.IllegalGamer

You are correct, also the 360 gives the option to install the game which will be about 6-7 Gigs and it runs off the hard drive, basically it's optional on the 360 but not on the PS3 due to the drive in the PS3 not really running the blu ray disc optimally yet it's not optional.
