18 gigabytes of hard drive space? How come they can fit the Xbox360 version onto a single dual-layer DVD, a media that only holds 8.7 gigabytes?

I herd the difference in PS3 vs Xbox 360 was they watered it down, and that it was shittier compaired to the PS3 version.

If there's a significant difference between them, I'm not seeing it.

I'm guessing higher resolution textures that the new Geforce/ATI cards can push compared to the 360 that accounts for the difference.

The lighting is greater on the PS3 version, proof is in the scene where the 2 guys just enter the apartment room. Huge difference in the lighting effects on the overall room.

Guessing it isn't just for the game. The game probably won't be that huge, but it's for disc swapping space. Still, that's a lot of space.

Fortunately no one has to worry about it because it wasn't that great on consoles either.
