[QUOTE="Nagidar"][QUOTE="navyguy21"][QUOTE="illegalimigrant"]One of the reason could be that the 360's OS only uses 10mb while the PS3's OS uses 45 mb. That's 35 more mb that the 360 has. Suprisingly the PS3 runs better most of the times. That could be the hardrive and the faster memory the PS3 has.navyguy21
You got it wrong there buddy, the 360 uses 32mb and the PS3 uses 96mb of memory!!

That was when the PS3 was released, its less now from updates.
you are right, its 84mb now

Um....as of May 10th and firmware what? They've consistently released firmware updates and I am aware that they're changing the memory footprint progressively.
Let me find an article that puts it at a lower estimate than that...
Here we go:
As of SDK firmware 1.60 it's 84 MB...

As of SDK firmware 1.80 it's 72 MB...

That's May 9th and August 21st, 2007. It's been 10 months almost exactly since then. Many firmwares have been released, so we can only presume that it's been reduced further. By how much? Hell if I know, it's hard to pin down. Hell, it's hard to actually GOOGLE this kind of information, not exactly common knowledge.
