It's funny.

Every time a PS3 developer puts a mandatory installation onto the PS3 hard-drive people whine and complain saying they don't want their console's hard drive used up in a PC-like fashion.

Microsoft preempted third parties by not having a hard drive in all its SKUs so third parties can't rely on it and now developers are whining.

What lame developers... if they want to make a freaking PC game, they should make one and stop whining about how the console isn't a PC.


installinga game on a PS3 is nothing like installing a game on a PC, on the PS3 you put the disc in and it installs it's self practically, a monkey could do this, and the benifits are seen almost instantanuously while on the PC side, installing a game requires the users attention as they accept/read the terms and conditions and then wait for a long time before the game is installed, far longer than DMC4 20min install time in some cases, only then to be faced with a load screen each time as their game loads for them to play.

Clearly the people complaining are not PC gamers seeing as PC gamers have it much worse than what console gamers have in terms of installing a game, so I welcome game install on the PS3 if it almost eliminates load times and texture pop up.


 Oh dear god, you're right-PC gamers have to be absolute geniuses and not be monkeys in order to install games onto their hard drive. Your post shows you haven't played many PC games and writing out of ignorance. I've installed many PC games onto my computer, very rarely do they more than 30 minutes.
