According to Gamefly, the XBOX 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII will come on three discs. This is of course no confirmation.

360 Version On Three Discs?
Wow. I was expecting it to ship on four discs at least, maybe even five. Not that it matters much. I like a bit of disc swapping with my JRPGs.
Hey, Disc swaps are no issue to me really, i grew up playing a number of games that required them and they're not that inconvienent really.
When you have a game like mass effect 2 as a very recent example of a game that disc swaps but is such high quality as to negate any negative influence it shows what is possible in a recent situation.
That said, i hope with the next generation of consoles when we finally get there do outphase this. From the looks of things we might be headed towards a more digital-centric means of distribution which i certainly approve of. Especially when it means i'll download a 15 gig seemless file instead of 2 discs.
" Who cares? The game's been out for almost 2 months now and the hype is dying. I stopped trying to get the plat trophy cause of NMH2 and Mass Effect 2. >.> Just install the discs on your HDD and don't worry about it. "You would still have to swap the discs for disc check if they were installed. Unless it somehow improves performance, or your 360 has a shitty disc reading reliability due to age or defect, installing seems like a big fat waste.
3 discs. I'm getting the PS3 version, but even if I weren't, it isn't really so bad. It's not as if I'd be constantly swapping between discs in set intervals.
" It's not the fact that I have to actually swap discs, it's that there's too much content for one which worries me. DVD's for games seems a bad idea for the future, I hope Microsoft bite the bullet and start using Blu Ray for the next console, they have to really. "Did it worry you on the PSone when you had four disc games? I should think it's fairly obvious that DVD will not be the format of the next Xbox. That would be equivalent to the N64 cartridge move for sheer stupidity.
Is there any difference between the Xbox 360 Version and the PS3 version that anyone is aware of? I actually prefer to game on the xbox 360; however, three discs seems a bit excessive.
