[quote name='sony']I have the update so I decided to test it out on 6 games.

Forza 2 went from 5.3gb to 4.7gb (-11.32%)
NHL09 went from 5.7gb to 5.0gb (-12.28%)
COD4 went from 6.7gb to 6.5gb (-2.99%)
CODWaW went from 6.5 gb to 6.4gb (-1.54%)
Sacred 2 went from 6.5gb to 6.3gb (-3.08%)
Left 4 Dead went from 4gb to 3.7gb (-26.00%)

Total savings = 3.1gb

Overall, it seems like reinstalling your games is only worth it if you're near the brim in terms of free space. The total savings was only 8.68% for the six games I tested. So just extrapolating from this for 100gb I'd save 8.7gb with the new installation sizes netting me an additional game on my 120gb. Other than the huge gains on smaller games, it probably isn't worth it to reinstall everything.

edit: decided to test the only "small" (3.4-3.5gb install) game I have.. Earth Defense Force 2017 went from 3.4gb to 1.6gb[/QUOTE]

[quote name='dumlaox']Some new game install sizes straight from the closed xbox.com forums:

Battlefield: Bad Company - 6.2GB
The Simpsons Game: 4.1GB
Tom Clancy's EndWar: 4.8GB
The Orange Box: 3.9GB
Burnout Paradise: 2.8 GB
Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts: 6.2GB
You're In the Movies: 4.7GB
Lips: 3.8 GB
Scene It! Box Office Smash: 5.0 GB
Trivial Pursuit: 1.5 GB
Kameo: 5.4GB
Amped 3: 6.0 GB
FIFA 09: 5.3GB
Fallout 3: 5.5GB
Mass Effect: 6.8GB

-------------------------------------

I wouldn't go around thinking lawsuit just yet. My guess is that because of the upcoming Games On Demand service, the research devoted to that made them reprogram the dash in such a way as to ignore security and dummy files used on DVDs for loading purposes. The old dash probably wasn't designed to read those images without the files, thus the large file sizes.

I'm going to continue testing the games I have today and check a few of them for any performance gains. Again, based on the few I did last night I think that performance will be the same as before but I just want to make sure before making that theory a fact.[/QUOTE]

Michael Phelps did not approve of your post, hence his angry face.
 
Thanks for that card, even though you write like an 11 yr old and that drawing was pretty bad. Its the thought that counts and I'm glad to have a good online friend such as yourself, DarthPuma.

Then they better ban anyone who lists an Action Replay or 007: Agent Under Fire for Xbox.

I worked really hard on that picture! My teachers have complained about my handwriting for years though. :grouphug:

It kind of blows my mind how bad my stepdad is with money. Thanks to his incessant spending we're two months behind on our cell phone bill!

She thought about it briefly before realized that it was a really fucking stupid idea.

Your parents have some awesome ideas when it comes to paying bills and car buying.

The ones around here (a) get new shit from somewhere and (b) aren't picked over because college isn't in session. I hit one over by RPI today and that's where I got AC/GTA4/MGS4(x2)/MP3. I then went to the first one I scored at in the Albany area (the OTT hookup run, apparently) and found 2 copies of Fable 2 and the original Condemned. They had a Condemned 2 and another AC, but didn't know how much AC would be worth on somewhere like half, so I didn't feel like dropping the extra $5+tax.

Everything was complete and in good sellable condition (fuck GS, I'll clear more, since I'm not raping their promos at the moment), save one copy of Fable 2 which has original case but missing instruction booklet.
