Some other factors include whether advertised features were fully delivered on, post-release support, community interaction and communication, overall gameplay experience, feature set, and online play performance.

FIFA 10 Hard Drive Evaluation
With FIFA 10 in hand I have gone through and timed different loading areas when running off the disc compared to running off the hard drive on the 360.

For FIFA 10 the actual install process took 10:16 and the game comes in at 6.2 GB. That is the longest timed install but not the largest since the capability to install be...
