      http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=327736 <----Where I seen it first. And yes my tag still say it. FUCK NEOGAF. BELIEVE IT One of the not-so-cosmetic changes in the fall update will be the ability to let you play your games directly from the hard disk. The new feature will let users install all of the game content directly onto the hard drive to improve game load times. Microsoft reports that it has seen a 30 percent improvement in load times in internal testing. As an interesting data point, Microsoft went out of its way to tell a group of reporters that the full Devil May Cry 4 hard disk installation took roughly 10 minutes on the Xbox 360. The installation took twice as long when we conducted our own installation tests on the PlayStation 3. Another side benefit of having games installed on the hard disk is reduced noise, since the optical disc no longer needs to spin up. However, you will still need to have the game disc in your optical drive while you’re playing it, presumably as a piracy check.

      Look like Sony came up with a great ID. They utilize the PC and made it into reading data off the hard drive so the lens doesn’t have to look for it. To bad Sony have up to 50GB on a disc and Microsoft 9GB. Uncompressed sound. FUCK THAT. That what surrounds sounds are for.

      I do not want Trophies, Money or not even a title saying I am number "1". You can have your cheap trophies, paper titles, and dingy headbands. I am a "STORY" to my peers, a "LEGEND" for your kids to hear, and a "FOLKLORE" to keep you from dieing with fear - [b]Calvin D. Kates aka Chauncy "TRU" Talon. [/b]

            Nobody really wants this. That is why they are making a bigger hard drive. This is to take up more space on the system. You guys who don’t have PS3, will see what the fuck we be bitching about.
