New 360 dashboard compressing files?

August 2nd, 2009

Users on forums everywhere are reporting that downloaded files on the Xbox 360 while using the new dashboard come at smaller sizes. For example, Call of Duty 4 comes in at around 200MB smaller, and Battlefield: Bad Company comes in at a whopping 1.6GB smaller. The reason behind this may be due to new file compression formats.

In case you have the new dashboard and want to make room for your HDD, you need to reinstall the games in order to take advantage of the compression. Here’s a small list of games, via GamersReports, that are smaller in size:

  • Call of Duty 4 0.2GB smaller
  • Call of Duty: WAW 0.1GB smaller
  • Gears of War 2 0.4GB smaller
  • Halo 3 0.6GB smaller
  • Battlefield: BC 1.6GB smaller
  • SFIV 0.4GB smaller
  • Left 4 Dead 1.3GB smaller
