before playing every ps3 game, you have to spend 40-60minutes install it.

otherwise, the loading time is unbearable compare to xb360.

the harddrive space quickly running out, then you have to delete some games.

I have not encountered any ps3 game that took longer then 5 or 10 minutes to install.

I like installing games onto the hard drive to reduce load times. I also recall having the option to do a full install with a lot of games, like UT.

I think its a good thing.

It didn't even take me 40 mintues to download Warhawk onto my friend's PS3...

Something must be wrong with your PS3's disk drive, or you must be a troll.

Every game 40-60 minutes? YOU DON'T OWN A PS3.

The most is DMC4 with 20 minutes.

Some games let you install files to shorten loading times (some, not all). But none of them ever took 40-60 minutes, not even ridge racer 7 which had the biggest install file of any ps3 game.

Lol where do you fanboys get these outrageously exaggerated numbers? It's like 5 minutes tops for anything. And for HDD space installs have nothing to do with your save so you can just delete the install data when you're done playing the game and just reinstall if you ever come back to it.

Nope. Only downloadable ones like Warhawk and demos, and that only takes 5 minutes.

30 minutes to download update

25 minutes to install update

20 minutes/500 mb to download

25 minutes to install demo

60 bucks/game

25 minutes to install said game

5minutes/100mb of update

15 minutes to install said update.

2 hours in line for ps3

2 year waiting for a mgs4 or a AAAe.

and I thought the ps3 was the most powerfull of the 3 systems and yet it has so much waiting.

The TC probably doesn't own a PS3 or maybe hasn't even played one.
