Actually, who cares! Time to reinstall some of my games!

I think they are simply using a very simple compression on the files. Something with very low CPU usage. Or maybe they use a different scheme to create the images of the original DVD where there is no padding data anymore on the sectors, and games using many small files instead of one big ass one would benefit highly.elektrixxx said:I've been trying to think of why these file sizes are randomly smaller.
Is it possible for FMV's to not be copied? Maybe it's better this way for video to load from disc and still have background loading coming from the HDD.
Or maybe they've been going through these games one by one figuring out exactly what they need from the disc in preparation to release them on Games On Demand.
Yes. Most people already said that's the best part of the update.Meus Renaissance said:I don't know if this has been confirmed, but will the new update do anything about the speed of the dashboard?

Cold-Steel said:I noticed people in here making comments on install sizes dropping in the preview and couldn't help but notice Halo 3 on some people's lists.
Is it okay to install Halo 3? I thought it did more harm than good when compared with running the game off the disc?

Or just go to My Xbox -> Y for Game Details -> Erase From Hard Drive -> Install to Hard DriveMCD said:For quick deleting those installs, go to the HDD section and press X (deletion suggestion), should list bigger files first.
Yeah, it's not good: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=13630060&postcount=189big_z said:you can install it but it will increase load times a bit from what i've heard. personally i havent tried to install it but i might. seems like there are times where loading takes forever off the disc...

Any one else notice that you can do the clear cached by pressing Y on the drive instead of the old code we had to do, nice little addition to the update
I support this, just who will make it and keep it updated.dak1dsk1 said:Can we get a seperate 'new compressed size' thread and make it sticky?
Hah, I came in here just to post this. No idea why it wasn't in there from launch. The PS3 only got it a few updates ago as well I think. Lazy people unite!user_nat said:I assume someone else has already noticed this.. but you can now eject the disc drive from the dashboard even when a disc is in there.
Which is the greatest feature ever for someone like me who's eject button has problems.
Awesome! No way should all those emulated games have taken up 3.4 GB.Foxix said:Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection 3.4 to 698(megs)
doesn't need to be sticky. someone make this please.dak1dsk1 said:Can we get a seperate 'new compressed size' thread and make it sticky?
