How does this work? XBL has Demos you don't need to install.

PC: DL demo, Install...........

PS3: DL demo, Install................................

How in the world does XBL have demos you can Download and play without install?

Is MS just magic with OS and software?

You've never EVER used XBL, have you? :lol:

No I had one since launch and used XBL since the Beta on Orginal XBOX.

Well allow me to answer your question.

The minute I download, let's say, a demo, a prompt comes up to "Play Now". I press that and *boom* I'm playing :)

You'd know that if you actually USED XBL. And the best thing is that part comes FREE.

I mean the part with the actual not installing to play part.

XBL is not perfect. Stop assuming people never used the service bash it. :|

My gamertag is Bastard360.

wouldnt saving it to the HDD be the same as installing it?HeHateMe_basic

No, some demos are compressed.

Wait! Let me get this straight.

You gotta "install"any PSN demos you downloadin orderto play them? :|

And people call the 360 "a watered down PC" :lol:

I'm sirry, I guess XBL spoiled the hell out of me.

Everything is like that in xbox Live

Quick system updates, pretty much automatic, all you have to do is say "yes" for the update and wham..its done

Downloadable content, demos, videos, Live Arcade games...quick and easy.

With PS3, you have to navigate several menues and screens and accept terms of agreements to download...then wait forever for the download. Then you have to "install" the demo, video, game. System updates are horrible.

Yeah, XBL is much more streamlined and convenient than PSN. It's inarguable. PSN will get better but XBL is certainly king right now when it comes to online gaming on anything but a computer.

Nope, thats a Fact!

ROFL!!!!!
I love this topic!
how lemmings are acting upon installing on the ps3
Squall_Griver

Sorry, again, didn't know you actually had to "install" game demos after you download then on PSN.

It does not matter if it takes 5 seconds or or 10 minutes to install you still need to install.

I didn't know you had to install a PS3 demo.

It's similar to the rule of web design....less clicks makes for a better user experience. In this case, one less step on the 360 dashboard.

Is this just a one-off inconvenience, or is it an indicator of how the whole PS3 interface experience is.

yeah cows make a big deal about the 10 seconds it takes to swap a game disk, which ifyou have an xbox 360 you have yet to do,so why cant lemmings make fun of cows having to install games and demos before they play them??

It's strange that PS3 has chosen to do demo-downloads that way.

Why on earth doesn't it just install by itself when it's downloaded - more or less as an automatic extension of the download-process that you are really not aware of? This is probably how the 360 does it.

You are after all gonna play the demo, or else you wouldn't have bothered downloading it in the first place...

That's what I was thinking. I mean.... installation configures the game to your system. But it's a console.... all the key parts are the same. Decompressing files? Well, couldnt' they make it part of the "download" process?

Is there a process we don't know about?
