| nitus10 said: As for installing a game on either the PS4 or the XB1 you can do this via digital download or by media which in this case is a Bluray disk. For digital downloads the time take is dependent on your internet performance between your console (the same applies to PC's) and the content provider, which for the XB1 is Microsoft. Some players have excelent internet perforace and can download at well over 30 MB/sec and some are lucky if they can download at 500 kB/s. In addition performance can vary dramatically over the course of the day. With a media install you are only limited to the read speed of the Bluray device and the write performace of your storage disk which is always the limiting factor. Note that for a 5400 rpm hard disk (normally the default for console) write performance is approximatey 20 MB/s. Installing from digital media has the bonus of you not needing to wait very long to actually start playing the game although this does depend on the game. I think some digital download games can let you do something similar but I am not sure. Either way to completey play the game it must be fully installed and normally this is actualy done in what is called "the background" which means the download continues to install even if you are doing someting else. If you are waiting, well you are waiting. Many forums discuss the advantages and disadvantages of digital download verse media install. Which one you choose really depends on you keeping in mind that if you remove the game and wish to reinstall via digital download at a later date you may have a long wait for the game to be fully installed again if your internet download capabilty is relatively slow. A word of caution, some internet providers offer unlimited upload and download, however some will throttle or reduce your speed dependent on the overall network usage. Other providers do have caps in place such that when you exceeed a certain number of Giga Bytes you are charged extra or severly throttled. |
I did saw some complaints about the slow installation from the physical media but so far that's the only real complaint that I have besides knowing the X1 is like the PS4 when it comes to installing games on the HD. Hehehe
Don't worry about my internet bro. Its slower than a snail, I just don't have any cap. -_-

Just slinging some casual bullshit I see.......

You don't download the game you install it. The only thing that downloads is an update file if the game has one. |
My bad its install either way the the whole game has to be on the HDD on both the PS4 and X1 in order to play it.

You don't on the PS4. I recently bought Dying Light and was playing it in minutes. |
Well games install much faster on the PS4 plus the whole game doesn't have to be completly installed in order for you to start playing it.

Actually it is the same on Xbox One... On PS4 I believe install is way faster for some reason tho but they both support partial download to start to play. And on both of them it is up to the developper to make the game partialy playable or not.
So when he says "you don't on PS4", you do :) It just depends on the game itself, not the platform per say.
OP: Congratulations to your brother :)
