Also how many games can a 20gb or even a 40gb PS3 install at once? 5-10?
Tease.
But-but-but- I want to come home and play the game for five minutes and get off! I don't have time to install the game! What if I uninstall the game and want to play again, I have to re-install it! ZOMFG.
Hypocrisy at it's best.
THE DIFFERENCE IS MS DIDNT MAKE HDD MANDATORY SO DEVELOPERS CANT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE INSTALLS!
I got the 20GB model on the cheap thanks to this clearance sale and Circuit ctiy's $30 gift card. No way I am using up my (relativly) limited storage space on game installs. May be for oblivion and BK, but that would be about it.
| obieslut said: so with these installs you wont need the game, that is very diff with the sony machine because you still need the game in the console after you install, i really do think that i have misread your post because wouldn't people just get the game install it then send it back to the shop. so have i got this correct, Microsoft buy game, install it to console dont need the disk anymore Sony buy game, install to console, still need disk in the system |
For copyright reasons, the disk still needs to be in the drive, but it just checks it.
I'll admit that I've never had to install a PS3 game.(Cause I play them at a friends house) But there is a certain appeal to putting a disc in and being able to play... over having to wait for an Install.... Now Installing may cut down on Load Screens but after 2 generations of them most people are used to them and don't mind the wait.
Boycotting the following:
1. Yoshi: He ate my car and spit out a toaster.
2. Igglybuff: Totally false advertisement. You can have as many as you like they don't buff nothing.
3. the Terms Hardcore/Softcore... We're talking Video Games. Not Porn.
4. The term Casual as relates to Gamers: We make them sound like outsider's that happen to play games. If that were the case they'd own a PS3.
5. Donuts.... Beacause I drink Beer...... and the biggest fan of Donuts hates Beer.
6. Boycotts: Their so lame.
Hypocracy goes hand in hand with being a Sony basher. How long before Avatars are praised as "genius"?
Its simple though. We all want the same things and bash the things we don't have. Thats fanboyism for ya,,lol
| starcraft said: I can't be hypocritical, because I have a 20GB HDD. However as MrStickball said, the main issue most have had with installs is their mandatory nature. |
I would prefer a mandatory install, that was only 20% the size (as developers can be smart about what they install), then having to install the entire disk.
Still, I like where Microsoft went with this. It means things like GTA could look better on the 360, Oblivion could load a lot faster, and the entire thing becomes more reliable/quieter.
I think using this option is a no brainer if you ask me.
Difference is, DMJ, 360 users can still game without the install. They can still do the five minute drive-by gaming. Choice Vs Mandatory. Which do you think is better?
