    Oke so I'm usually not into console gaming all that much, and the games I have played are all single disc games.
    So how do I install this game? Do I pop in all 3 discs and just say "Install to HDD" ? 

    Thanks in advance, I guess Steam has spoiled me :-P

    On the dash board, at the MY Xbox tab, scroll over to the tab that say Game Library (and your disc must be in the drive). Select FF XIII and it will give you three options, one of which is Install to Hard drive. 
     
    Keep in mind that installing all three discs will still require you to do the disc swap. So don't bother doing them all at once. Play through a disc, then delete it and install the next one

    Install all three discs the same way you install a game with one disc. They will be labeled Disc 1,2 and 3. Takes up a crapload of space tho. I think I ended up around 18gb when done.  
    I would recommend installing them all at once tho. Nothing like quitting the game after switching discs to do an install for 10 min to take you out of the experience.

    @Jimbo_N:
    Yea I'll definitely install all three, it's not like that space gets used for anything else on my hdd.
    I just find it weird you're installing all three discs as a solo product. I'd have thought it would be like a PC install, where you're told to swap discs while installing.

    It isn't really an install like PC - it just makes a perfect image of each disc on the HDD.

    Yeah, calling it an install is sort of a misnomer, as it is very different from what a PC install does. This is more akin to making a copy.

    Yeah. I know PS3 is more so like a PC install, insomuch as to require (and reference from) both the disc in the drive, and the material on the HDD.
