Bioshock on PS3 has 5GB install, takes 10 mins

"Journalists have now been getting to grips with BioShock on the PS3 and report back that the game has a required 5GB install which takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. But don't worry, there is some classical music to keep you entertained while the game installs..."

maxconsole.net

this game still interesting?

p.s. as usual, apologies if old.

If it improves something, then alright, but if it improves nothing, then that'll bite. We'll see if it's worth that 5GB when the review drops.

It's not going to bother me. I have been wanting this game for a while.-Sluggo-

HELL YEA BAND OF BROTHERS!! :D:D

If it didn't improve anything, I doubt the developer would make it mandatory. The effects may not be noticeable from a gameplay perspective, but they did it for a reason. Better with it than without it, for sure.

I think he meant a noticeable improvement over the existing 360 version

Installing a game on PS3 = Less frame rate issues and less loading times.And i guess anyone can wait for 10 mins.lesner87

Less framerate issues? Really?

I need a bigger HDD i only have 8Gb left on my 60 GB PS3 (I have music, photos, videos Demos and games on it) Pelon208

Try finding a 320gb ;)

Lucky. I constantly have to delete demos on my 360 because of HDD space. :(

Got over 30 downloaded games/demos from PSN on the PS3 and still have about 40 gigs left, though. Maybe it's worth noting I upgraded to a 100 gig drive from a 60 gig.

This kinda sucks, but the 360 version was very buggy so perhaps this will smooth out the experience. I do like that the installs offer quick to no load times and such.

I'm glad I already beat the game, but this is kind of a bummer and kind of a good thing.

Why 5400rpm? Try finding 7200rpm much better. Here look at this,

Link don't work, and if thats true im buying it right away

most of us have spent over 10 min reading post in SW..... I think a 10 min install is not such a terrible waist of time in prospective :P

Huh? Very buggy? I didn't think the 360 or PC versions were really buggy at all...

Then I guess anyone can lift his own butt and change the disks on the 360

That wont work because its a 16mb, it needs to be 8mb

My 250gb hdd says "bring it on"carlisledavid79

Nice. I want one :(

It wont bother me:DShamrockRovers

Why would it anyway? You could just watch some TV or go on the computer for a while when downloading.

Well...too bad for the 20 giggers out there.Dreams-Visions

Lol! They're already out of space. That's like 3-4 games.

Waddya mean too bad? they can upgrade their HDDs too you know ;)

I thought that too but it depends though. Laptop HDDs for PS3s need:

- 8mb

- 5400rpm or 7200rpm

- 2.5 size

- Serial ATA (SATA)

things like this are guaranteeing a forced upgrade. more or less.

Eurogamer has a hands on preview.

Almost-final build, seems to run identically to the 360 version.

You are right, and some times i made some partys on my place, and i have a nice surround sound conected via optical on my PS3, so thats the main reason.

And i have MGS4, RFOM, SpiderMan3, Blazing Angles, AC, HS, Haze, and i don't remember the other 3:P

EDIT: That required install
