Five hours on multiple discs, exactly. MGS4 was all on one disc. Altogether, the installs took maybe 25 minutes.
Now look at PS3 install sizes. MGS4, DMC4, RE5, BioShock are 5GB apiece. These are considered unreasonable large installs.
When was the last time a high-budget PC game had under a 5GB install?

As an aside, how many gaming PCs are capped at a measly 20GB?
Anyhow I'd suggest looking into a new PC, since even big PC games (like Medieval II, at 11 gigs) installed in just over five minutes for me, and my PC is only good, not great. Also, the "constant need for hardware upgrades" thing is a complete myth. I haven't changed a thing in my PC since the 8800 GT came out (that was around the start of the current console generation), and there's nothing on the horizon that's prompting me to upgrade anytime soon. Before that, I hadn't upgraded my PC in five years (i.e. another full console generation), and while I admit things got rough in the last year, I could still play damn near everything fairly well.

Seriously dude? Seriously?

Just getting started on PC gaming is so expensive, and on top of that, you have to upgrade hardware every few years...it's just too much of a headache for me.

You don't "have" to do anything. If you "want to" you can play a more modern game at better performance, but for most games to play them on the low end you can do it with a 3 or 4 year old card. It might not be the best graphics, but it would still work. Now when the upgrade is now much less than or slightly higher than a $100(unless you build a whole new PC, which you have no reason to unless your looking toward high end performance) then it is well warranted for another 3 or 4 years of games as well as able to play all your older games at modern fidelity. So might prefer to upgrade, but it is far from as bad as you may think.
