Steal your first dozen or so cars and test out the improved vehicle handling?

·Check out the cool features on your mobile phone?

Rack up a 5 Star Wanted Rating?

Have a blast of your first MP game on Xbox LIVE?

Ditch the tracksuit chic and buy some new clothes?

Unlock your first GTA IV Achievement and boost your Gamerscore?

Big Deal or no?

its a cheap shot but I welcome it.

360 version doesnt need to install. I think that is a factor in determining which version is better. A small reason, but still a reason.

Just how long will this install that they're bashing take? Does it take longer than that to download a movie from XBL?

Also - stop feeling sorry for me (as a PS3 user). It makes me feel sorry for YOU that your perception is that skewed.

OK, so that's not a long time to wait, but if it was say...Halo 3 I would not tolerate it. And I don't think that big GTA fanboys will either.

I could install GTA 100x over and again and it still wouldnt take as long as it did to get my RROD 360 back... twice.

So, I'm waiting for the list of things gamers can do waiting for their 360s to return from the repair center. I dont see that memo coming from Microsoft.

If the optional 360 install is real and that actually happened to someone that would be an epic moment.

I don't follow or care about reviews but I know that's the norm here to claim ownage on someone over AAAE so have a laugh if that gives you a special tingling feeling ;).

Technically they CAN release games that install on 360 hard drives. ... the arcade units are upgradable to have hard drives are they not?

Either way, there are a pile of small reasons why the 360 version is superior, so ... lucky us (360 owners) but that doesnt mat the game any worse.

Yeah then after speninding 5 minutes getting that first achievement or whatever you choose to do, then you'll realize that the 360 runs with several hitches uninstalled, you install it which could take longer than PS3's install then your PS3 comrade will be ahead of you? Also this is all so pety OMG I'm wasting 5 minutes by browsing the wev and not playing videogames OMG!!

I wish people would quit acting like installing games makes a big difference. What is Microsoft going to do next-gen when all games are downloadable? Will they be making these 5 minute lists then? No. A 5 minute installation is hardly a reason not to buy it on the PS3. They should stick to marketing the DLC and quit looking like jerks quite frankly.

what? I understood your title but then i got lost in the post. Are those things ur saying u can do while the Ps3 version installs? Because installing a game usually makes the game load times much much faster. So the next time u pop in GTA4 into ur 360, on the ps3 u could...

"Steal your first dozen or so cars and test out the improved vehicle handling?

·Check out the cool features on your mobile phone?

Rack up a 5 Star Wanted Rating?

Have a blast of your first MP game on PSN?

Ditch the tracksuit chic and buy some new clothes?"

Before the 360 version finishes loading the game.

That would be interesting to see. I mean the .1% chance of getting a yellow light on ur Ps3 is sooo threatening. Where as the 33+% chance of getting RRoD. Well that doesnt bother me, i mean i can just send my 360 in for a month or so and get it fixed, hopefully.

Teh fail. And a 5 minute install is no problem, most people here would have installed a pc game at least once in their life right? Whats the big deal? If it helps it to run smoother i'll damn well wait the 5 minutes!

Well the install could eliminate most loading times and in a game this big and this long that could be a huge factor.

Seriously, it's 5 minutes. I don't know why MS feels the need to make it sound like an hour.
