The issue is convenience , if you had to clap your hands every 10 miles you drove your car to stop it from breaking down you won't be bothered too much but if your next door neighbour had the exact same car but didn't need to then you'd be going through a procedure that you otherwise may not need to for the same effect some one else gets effortlessly.

it's not a big issue but it's convenience you won't get unless you own a PS3 , gaming shouldn't require any effort other than playing the game itself.

 

Your example is silly:

  • You might clap your hands every 10-15 minutes while you would have to change discs every 10-15 hours.
  • You may have to clap your hands 5 times in one trip (depending on length) but you more than likely won't have to change your disc more than 3 times (4 discs).
  • Changing discs isn't a significant inconvenience.  Are you telling me Blue Tooth is crap since I can't have an IR or Universal remote that turns off my PS3 so I have to get up if I want to turn it off?

 

@Shadowblind For those of you who sit around all day doing nothing then maybe , but for some one who's been working/school all day or a combination of both it's a whole different thing.

My example wasn't meant to be taken so literaly I was only demonstrating a point , the clapping of the hands is really irelevant .

All I was trying to say is why would you opt for lesser convenience if you had the choice ? assuming that the games are identical ( PS3 is the lead platform ) 1 disc will always beat multiple discs  , I did say it wasn't a big issue but why experience a lesser level of convenience if you have the choice not to ? I can't fathom why you would try and counter argue ... yes it's a small innnonvienience but it's still an inconvenienve of some form. As humans we always progress towards lesser inonveniences it's not neccaserily laziness , it's in our nature  more durable clothing , Smaller Phone , Thinner/Lighter TV etc.

 

I could understand calling it an inconvenience if you had to do it often but if it's once something every 10-15 hours it's not an inconvenience.  To me picking that as the lesser version is as silly as saying BluRay is the worse format because the cases aren't the standard size.

Multiple discs is really just a moot point.  I'm not calling it a small inconvenience, I'm calling it a non-factor.
