Hey guys will I like this game? I've never played a FF game ever. But I always hear good things about it. Although I can also say I am not an RPG fan, but probably the only RPG I enjoyed was Pokemon on the Gameboy. LOL.

Look storedate broken somewhere in the world you can now all talk about your downloaded/pirated copies!!!1111

Oh wait you can do that anyway, Neowin, where leaked games discuss better :rofl:

In other news, it is 576p on the 360, those weren't just dodgy pictures earlier.

Just the hair that still looks off

I paid the extra ?1.99 so even if the do ship on Monday I should get it by Tuesday. But don't ShopTo gurentee delivery? If they do not deliver you get ?5 credit?

Edit: Its ?3

Oh yeah, you'll have the game for Tuesday. It's just because of it being a Tuesday release it probably won't arrive till then. Personally i would have stuck with the royal mail delivery option because if they do happen to despatch tomorrow Royal Mail do deliveries on a Saturday, so you should get it then, i don't know UKmail will deliver it on a Saturday.

I'm glad the videos show them looking pretty much identical.

Wait for Digital Foundry analysis, should be fun...

Anyway

GamesRadar gives FFXIII a 10/10

You'll love

Focused, streamlined action; no BS filler

Prettiest console graphics OF ALL TIME

Lots to explore on Pulse

You'll hate

Summons are kind of weak

Lightning is a boring character

First half may be too linear for some

Website Ve3tro.com has reported the NXE hard disk install sizes for each of the three game discs that make up the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII.

According to the site - which has posted screenshots as proof - disc one weighs in at 5.9GB, while the second and third discs install at 5.8GB and 6.6GB respectively. This combined 18.3GB compares with a total of 39.4GB for the Japanese PS3 version, making the 360 game less than half the size of the PlayStation 3 release.

There are a few interesting facts to derive from this news. Owing to copy protection measures, the maximum potential size of an Xbox 360 game is 6.8GB, meaning that across the whole three discs Square-Enix actually had 2.1GB of potential space that remains unused, so we would hope that any omissions from the Xbox 360 version of the game would be minimal, if not non-existent.

The reduced size of FFXIII can easily be explained by more aggressive compression in the game's large array of CGI cut-scenes. Of the total 39.4GB that makes up the Japanese FFXIII on PS3, a quick look at the file structure on the Blu-ray disc suggests that a whopping 32.6GB of it is dedicated entirely to the video sequences, leaving just 6.8GB for the actual gameplay.

Very interesting reading, so at the end textures, sounds etc on both consoles use the same space? or may be less on the PS3? :s

PS3 doesn't need to duplicate any data over the discs, I've got a feeling the 360 may have to if you can revisit areas.

Digital Foundry comparison is up in 3 hours anyway.

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
