GameFly: Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360 “a three-disc game”
According to online gaming rental service GameFly, the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII will span three discs. Back in August, Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase said that the Xbox 360 version would most likely appear on three discs. Seems he was right.
In GameFly’s description for the game, a note is included: “This is a three disc game, but it only counts as one disc against your rental plan.”
GameFly’s usually never wrong. Let’s not distrust them.

I have both PS3 & 360…but this is a no brainer…Imma get the PS3 version…and the disc thing is a major reason…because I’m sure the 360 can match the PS3′s Graphics
I heard the Final Fantasy XIII developers say that the video and audio is compressed to fit onto 3 DL DVDs and that you can only tell the difference if you do a side by side comparison.
Ahhhh, my precious Blu-Ray Disc.
Two questions: will the 360 have an install option? If not how long will it take the game to boot up from disc to disc?
Obviously while a PS3 owner is enjoying the game on one disc the 360 owner has to wait a minute or two to switch out discs and wait for the game to continue where it left off.
And yeah, I heard about the compression thing too. One thing’s for sure: we’ll see comparison videos from everything to the full motion video clips to, obviously, gameplay.
I’m getting the PS3 version personally, altough I wouln’t mind having to disc swop if needed.
For the question above, I am pretty sure that you will be able to install the game; as far as I’m aware you can with all 360 games now. As for whether you can install every disc at once (and thus eliminate changing) or whether its one disc at a time and still ‘change’ (like in Mass Effect 2), I don’t know.
Either way, March 9th is closer than ever!!
