Forums - Gaming - GTAIV on PS3 will have a mandatory 5 minute install. Optional on Xbox 360?

Actually some 360s dont have a hard drive. So really there is no choice

It's all about choice my friend.

 


No it isn't. It's all about higher sales numbers. Let's not fool ourselves.  No one would choose to have framerate problems.  The lack of a hard drive being standard across all models is fucking ridiculous.

ITS ALL ABOUT NOT ALL 360S HAVE HARD DRIVES THEY COULD NOT DO A MANDATORY INSTALL OR THEY WOULD ALIENATE 4 MILLION 360 OWNERS!!!!!!!

 

THANK YOU PHIL

And they obviously can't make any install on 360 mandatory, since they don't all come with hard-drives.

 It's also about not flipping out and talking normally.

 

Does anyone have proof of splitscreen on PS3?  That could make my decision more complicated... 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Don't you think that if all 360's had a hard drive, this would be mandatory on the 360 as well? Still, a 5 minute install is no big deal for the PS3 or 360 and if it's going to improve on the experience... I don't see why we should be defecating a brick about it.

The only proof of split-screen multiplayer on ps3 was that "first review" which was obviously fake.
