I dont know how I didn't notice this. I went on a little week long hiatus with NCAA 10 and went back to FNR4 and removed NCAA from my HDD. Now I re-installed it and its true, shaved off a whole GB from 6.4 to 5.5GB
Good News: The new NXE produces smaller install sizes for disc based games. While you still need the disc to play the game from the HDD, the amount of space taken up by the installed game is smaller than before. Aside from The King of Fighters XII, the following were tested out for this quick evaluation:
-Street Fighter 4 - 4.6GB
-Raiden Fighters Aces - 484MB
Bad News: This change in installation size means that almost every game will have to be re-checked on the new NXE. Over 400 games being checked again doesn't exactly spell fun.
Good News: From what I could tell, the reduced file sizes don't seem to change the performance ratings from before. While this may mean that Halo 3 still runs poorly off of the HDD, it also means that not all 400+ games have to be checked for performance again. Raiden Fighters Aces and Street Fighter 4, for example, had the same performance ratings as before.
