i'm hoping the 360 version is better, that's what i pre-ordered. I was having a hard time choosing between the two. I chose 360 version because you do 22 gb install and on ps3 it's only 8, what that tells me is it will take longer for stuff to load on ps3 (textures, etc.) because it will have to reference the disc more often. The way the game looks is more important to me than the time it takes stuff to load though. Everytime id has demonstrated the game they've used a 360 to do it, i don't think they'd do that if it looked worse than the ps3 version. The way they're releasing this game is very annoying. Id won't let anyone post a review till release date (so it seems) which means to get the pre-order bonus everyone is offering (free upgrade to anarchy edition) you have to guess at which one to get! Then again if you don't care about pre-order bonus you can just wait till release date, see reviews and comparisons and buy the better one. All in all though this wasn't handled the best way.

Well apparently the 8gb is the entire texture package, but from what I have seen the PS3 still has slightly worse pop-in. Probably has more to do with ram.

So none of the 22 gb you install on 360 version is the texture package? Would id really make the install on the 360 be everything EXCEPT the textures? That sounds pretty dumb. I'm not saying you're wrong, i'm saying if they did it that way it's stupid.

I didnt say that. 8gb of it is textures. I meant the PS3 version only install the textures and nothing else.

So when the 360 installs 22gb of data isn't that the content of three DVD's? I mean a DVD holds 9gb right? So you have to swap to do the preinstall too?
