    So are people still complaining about slowdown after installing it on the 360? Has anybody said what kind of difference the install makes?

    10 GIGS are you sure, that will leave 3 left for people like me who have a premium 360, the ps3 is reported to have 5 gigs installed so why so big for us.

    I reckon the best bet is to wait just 5 more days to see what will actually be ture and false rather than falling out over it on a forum before hand. I'm in a position where I may have a copy for my 360 on launch day, but if I don't, a mate definately has, and another mate has one reserved for the PS3, so if need be I can find out on Tuesday exactly how much space the install takes up on each machine.
    Relax lads!! Don't fall out over it! :p

    I can say with 100% certainty that this game does not install on the 360. And there is absolutely no option in the menus to do so either. When you pop in the disc, the game just starts up (i.e. no startup menu screen). All options can be found by pausing the game. Under the Game tab in the pause menu, the only options are: Load, New and Autosave.

    Are you connected to live? Maybe you need to update the game before it lets you do the install. That said I've only ever seen an install option for the 360 talked about in one review, and people are claiming that was fake.

    from the bloke i know who has been playing it the last few days
    when i stuck the game in it said "You need to run an install to play this game, do you want to install now?"

    and i clicked yes

    so, one of you is wrong

    Had a quick look around and the general consenus is that the PS3 has a mandatory install and the 360 has an optional install.

    This is probably down to the arcade sku not having a hard drive.

    There's a lot of conflicting info out there as to whether there's an optional install or not. Most people who have played it seem to say no.

    do we have any sort of constant in the no group? ie version of xbox, harddrive capacity, and harddrive space free?

    There better be an install opeion on the 360 if there is one of the PS3. Otherwise the PS3 version will run far better, which sucks balls.

    Not necessarily. The PS3 version may simply need it more due to the BR drive's slower streaming.

    Agreed Melion. The poor "review" is a load of crap.

    A similar negative review emmerged about Halo 3 being sh1te, days before it was released.

    I look forward to seeing this thread sink next Tuesday.

    I seen on a website that the PS3 is an optional installation due to slower reading of BD and the Xbox360 has no option to install att all but it still runs fine. Thanks for the link above I've been watching it for the past while n it looks cool...

    If a DVD-R can hold 4.7gig I can't imagine how the install would be 10gig, unless you download through Live.

    A DVD-R can hold 9Gb. Most current 360 games are about 7Gb. But your point is still correct about it needing more than that on the HDD. Unless it was all compressed. But then it would be super slow if it wasn't uncompressed onto the HDD.
