After listening to podcast episode #106, the 2 year special, I thought I’d post a little bit of info concerning Final Fantasy XIII.

 

In the heated debate about blue-rays vs. dvd, the amount of space taken up by games on our hard drives was brought to attention. With FF XIII being the current centre of attention, why not take a glance upon the figures?

 

“Are you ready for Final Fantasy 13? Well if you are and picking up the title on Xbox 360 with the option of installing to your hard drive you will need a good amount of space.

 

After installing all three discs the total amount of space used up was 18.3GB’s, so it’s bad news for the (Arcade) 20GB owners.”

Here’s how it breaks down:

 
Disc 1: 5.9GB

 

 
Disc 2: 5.8GB

 

 
Disc 3: 6.6GB

 

So the maths is simple. 5.9+5.8+6.6=18.3 + 6GB (the amount of space the Xbox memory system reserves for caching and backwards compatibility etc., approximately) = 24.3.

Damn.
