This is directed to the PS3 fanboys who like to hate on multi-disc X360 games:

Simply put fellas...grow up. If swapping a disc out is a hassle for you, how are you ever going to be able to satisfy and tolerate a woman? I can't stand lazy sacks using that as valid arguement against an X360 version of a multiplat. You sound like little kids in all honesty. I know Im not speaking for myself when I say this so lets just keep the game discussion strictly related to the games for your dignity's sake and my sanity.

Cool.

I know but the thing is my cat actually attacks the disc tray whilst inserting therefore leaving my discs at risk to be scratched or worse.

if the other thread proved anything its that certain people weren't particularly interested in thinking about it, it was just an excuse to hate the 360 in general, and after the rather turbulent time the PS3 is having right cows really flocked to that thread (or galloped i guess would be a better word). there isn't any real need to continue the discussion, let alone start it again somewhere else.

Do you not post in SW often? This is standard......every thread is nothing more than a glorified pissing contest between factions.

and FF13 fits into your idea of a better experience compared to what? getting beaten up by a hobo for £5?

So...the 360 is stuck using a feature from two gens ago? Sorry, but that doesn't help your argument. :P

Personally I don't think it's that big of a deal, but I can see it being annoying with an Open World game like L.A. Noire.

Just because i said 20 disks dosent mean there is actually a game that has 20 disks.. i thought it would be easy to catch.. this was more of me joking at disk swapping and which we all know the 360 still does.. not sure if wii has a game with multiple diks but no argument since wii is a last gen console.. dont hate me this is my sexy opinion :oops:

in very big games, a single DVD can't accomodate all the areas, so some areas need to be locked or sealed ...... ex: LO, FFXIII .

I think it's funny to listen to people bash PS3 for installs then minutes later they are in another thread talking about how great steam is. I've been downloading the NFS games and Dragon Age all night.

I don't really hate Disc-Swapping but if i had a choice i would get the game with only one disc. That being said if i had a choice of not getting a disc at all ill get that. It's just more convenient for me.

Taking 30 seconds to switch a disc > waiting 40+ minutes for a game to install. Got it.
