I just got screwed over recently. I am a 360 owner with a 20 gb hdd and picked up FF11 for it. Little did I know that it eats up close to 8gb of space. And since I install any game I play just to keep the lifespan of my 360 prolonged for as long as possible (and if you have a 20 gb you know you only have 13 gb of real space) this was unnacceptable. So I gotta ask why didn't I know? I read the back of the box, seen how much saves take and whatnot. So why wasn't there a little box that said X gbs to install. I'd be really screwed if I just had an arcade. I do enjoy my 20 dollar coaster though.

Which brings me to my next thought. Why aren't these sizes listed on the back of the box of all games nowadays? With the NXE and the ability to install games why aren't the sizes listed right there. It wouldn't affect the box art and could be put into the little box right beside the memory requirements. I understand that they couldn't go back and redo all the old game boxes but it should be a requirement for new ones. We shouldn't have to research these types of things before purchasing.

The developers don't really care about the installing. That was a Microsoft thing.
