The biggest install for me was the one for Heavy Rain which took about a half an hour. Still, I hate to be the guy to bring it up but......I hear other consoles can install an entire game (optional) in about ten minutes. |
While the Xbox can do it's optional install thing in about 10 mins you have to think of the difference, the 360 has the disk for the game inside its drive and it's just reading the info from that bit for bit onto the harddrive, all it's doing is making an image of the disk ready to use on its harddrive. The ps3 on the other hand is working twice as much with its harddrive, like the file to begin with is on there, so it is going to be going back and forth, reading the info from the zip style bubble file and rewriting it elsewhere on the harddrive over and over again.
Also as much as I much prefer my 360 to my ps3 you'll not find a single xbox disk over like 7.4gb so that install has a cap on how long it can take, infamous 2 from psn+ atm was 15gb, I know there are of course multi disk xbox games but yeah the install you speak of is just a single disk.
