I wouldn't call the 360 clearly the winner because of that, but yea I prefer disc swaps over installations too. atleast in RPG's that is.
but in the end it doesnt really matter.
ID rather get a 10 min install over with instead of having to change disks every 2 hours.Haseokicksass
lol thats right! i hate changing discs thats why i havent finished lost oddesy

damn i can be finish with the game by that time, ps3s install times mustbe like 20 hours long, WOW !
This has to be the biggest fanboy topic ever. Installation is ONE TIME. So as soon as its finished installing you wont have to do it ever again. Whereas youll still have to switch disc alots. Fanboy or not im sure everyone would prefer a one time install than multiple discs and switching.MassiveKaos
so how many times did you have to install on MGS4 .
[QUOTE="ff7isnumbaone"]ps3 loading time will be quicker so x360 fanboys owned,blitzkid1
Actually no , coming this fall 360 owners will have the option of installing entire games on the 360 so therefore faster load times.
but most people own the 20 gb 360 which is not that much space.

Good luck finding the space for that in a 3-4 disc game when Microsoft only lets you use their overpriced proprietary hard drives?[QUOTE="MassiveKaos"]This has to be the biggest fanboy topic ever.

I wouldnt know as i haven't played mgs4 but every other ps3 game that has to be installed is one time.[QUOTE="killerfist"]no one knows. but probably.[QUOTE="AntiType"]Do I need to install ff13?AntiType
Then why this argument? for all we know, install will be optional and something we would like to do like with soul calibur 4
yeah maybe. who knows. would be great if they did something like that.you mean the ps3 you dont own? nice try, theres nothing wrong with perferring multi disks to installs, but dont lie about owning a console :|linkin_guy109
I dont have a ps3 check my blog, and another thing you dont have to own a ps3 to know about its install times ;)

now why would you want more that one disk, of the same game? i couldnt stand disk swapping during the ps1 days, so im extremely happy that the ps3 has cured that for me! it wasnt only a hassle bcuz of the disk swapping either. what made it more wack was having to make sure all your disk were in good shape, not misplacing any, and having fatter cases! installs PWNS multiple disk in soo many levelsFurbyballistik
Luckily 360 owners will be able to install games this fall.
This debate on whether multiple disc better or installs is pointless. If the game is great, I heck take both with it.

so how many times did you have to install on MGS4 .
You install it, which takes 8 minutes, then everytime you load a diffrent chapter, you need to go through a 1 or 2 minute install. Something that short should be treated as a long loading time. Its notl ike it takes up space on your PS3 or anything. 1 minute install before a chapter, and 2-5 second loading times durign the game, somtimes there arent any loading times between cutscenes and gameplay.

blitzkid1
p.s how how do you know if theyll be more than 1 disc ?
becuase SE actually talked about it during e3 and interviews.Also SE has not even mentioned installs yet on the ps3.
p.s why are you trolling
I'm not even going to get into this debate in a massive way...but
WHile disc swapping isn't even a big issue(how lazy are you people) there are 2 legit flaws(1 if your not in the U.S.)
1- the case for multiple discs suck. It is the discs on top of each other....and if its a 4th disc it comes in a side thing(LO) which is wack
2- If 1 disc gets scratched, the whole game for the most part is some what ruined(mild issue, but something to be considered)
However while we are on this disc swap thing(for the lazy people again)
MGS 4 had mandatory installs between acts that ranged between 1-3 minutes(exaggerated but you get the idea) and had loading..
That is basically longer than a disc swap.....

Sooo... you're saying that you think 3-4 discs is better than installing... and now you're saying that 360 is LUCKY that it gets installs?
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT...?
I think you've just joined Lagswitch and GhostMLD in the group of funniest people on SW.

why are you changing the subject?:roll:I thought that multiple discs>>>installations??
either the installs on PS3 are really long on some games or your really quick at sex.Installing because we can do the following:
- Make sandwich
- Go to bathroom
- Read
- T.V
- Ring up an old friend and tell him im installing
- Talk to roommates
- Throw a party
- sex
- Play a computer game

2. One disc scratched or one of out four scratched, both are ruined. Most part you could say it a higher chance tho.

Try switching a disc. Nobody said you had to play the game when it got done installing.
Final Fantasy XIII after sex would be like a cigarette after sex only longer I guess.
