Why if you buy the Retail Warhawk disc do you have to install the Complete game onto your PS3 like it does, then you cant even play it without inserting the disc Even tho the complete game is Installed onto it anyway>>>>

And yes its the SAME size as if you had downloaded it on PSN>>>>

Whats going on with that?

You dont need to install the ENTIRE game for Cache and if so, then they should just let you play it without inserting the disc>>>>

Ok first of all you DID NOT install the ENTIRE game. There is a reason they don't let you play with the disc not in...it's called piracy.

... okay lets go over this.

download = 800mb highly compressed. CELL decompresses it streaming off HDD ...

Blu-ray disk = 800mb cache data ...

Now you ask why you need the disk to run the game -PIRACY! if you only had to install the game it would be easy to steal -> hell who would buy the game rent it and install in on as many PS3's as possible ... which would result in the devs. getting **** all $$ ..

Now I am SURE they could set it up where you could install WarHawk onto your PS3 and just run it in the system without the disc and send Information to the PSN so that there wouldnt BE piracy... YOu guys have to get off this Piracy thing, thats not what the question was about.

THey could set it up so that ONce it was INstalled on a PS3 that it would make it Impossible to Install it on any OTHER PS3's just like Games for Windows Does, they could use a Registration code and then check online to see if its been installed before.

DUH, you people REALLY need to look outside the Box.

Why would they do that? If that were the case, the disc would be useless after you installed the game on your PS3. Want to take it to a friend's house and play? Wouldn't be able to do that. Want to sell or trade the game (which is a HUGE business right now),wouldn't be able todo that either!

You REALLY need to use some common sense here pal.:roll:

You would be able to ReInstall the game on YOUR OWN system if Needs Be if they had it set up like taht so it WOULDNT make the Disc Null.

If they did that it WOULDNT be the first time they had done that with games before. Thats a Risk they'd have to take not to be able to ReSell the game. Are you even Old enough to remember Phantasy Star ONline??? Thats how THat game set it up. They could reInstall it but if they wanted to reSell it they couldnt so I guess they'd just have to think about it before they bought if they REALLY wanted it.

If you you ReSell their games they get little to Nothing back Anyways, so there's little point to doing that>>>>

Do I? How many other PS3 discs are like this? The nice thing about having a disc is being able to do the things I've mentioned in as previous post. But obviously you know more about it than the people who do this stuff for a living.

If you're talking about GameStop, they are Constantly ripping People Off. I dont think companies in good Conscience should do that, really they should ALL close>>>>

Seriously though, even though this guy is a little aggresive, would it really be so hard to set up an account for a code specific to the game so if you wanted to take it to friends house you could take the disk to isntall it and use your account to play but two people just can't use the same account at the same time. Like so many other games for PCs. Just because no PS3 games exist like this before doesn't mean that Warhawk isn't exactly the game which should implement this method. I personally have no idea which version to buy for exactly this dilema...
