And we have a good example of that from a recent release: FF XIII. I bought it for the PS3, inserted the disc and played, played and played. No disc swaps, no install.

You guys had the same game but had two choices: play disc swap ou use up 18.3 GBs of your HD. 18.3! And we're talking Final Fantasy, a very mainstream title. Award winning game. Not a game like Split/Second, which nobody will remember by the end of the year.


So, that being said, you may not have "mandatory installs", but the disc-swap will always hang around your heads.

You didn't say that when you had to disc-swap Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9. Not to metion installing game on the ps3, downloading updates takes ages.

Well, atleast the smallest HDD the PS3 comes with is 120GB, right? Lol
Except for the millions of people who own older PS3s and haven't bought a Slim yet.

LoLoLoL you beat me first, i was also to say that hehehehehe

Althought i think you can install any HDD into a PS3 right? It doesn't matter they're version.

Yeah, you can upgrade the PS3 HDD, I have seen some up to 1TB for like 100 bucks. That is one thing I like about the PS3.

And regarding the comment about MGS4, the 360 wakes up every morning wishing they had an exclusive with the plot quality of MGS4. Says me and the reviews.


Toodles.
LMAO Yeah because we wish we had a game where we have to sit through 30 minute cutscenes between every 10 minutes of actual gameplay.

HEY!! It is 15 minutes of gameplay between 30 minute cutscenes! god that game was boring..

I think 1 of the admin might want to mention that it's actually 3.7GBs and then lock the thread.
Don't spread lies for no reason.

It is not any of the mods fault that the mistake was made. The article clearly at first stated 7GB and corrected their mistake. There were no lies spread at all.
But the size of the install is beside the point. With all the power that the PS3 fanboys claim, the Blu-Ray still has a distinctive weakness and its that it's read size cannot compete with the XBOX 360 and DVD in order to provide a playable experience.

BREAKING NEWS

http://kotaku.com/

Split/Second for PS3 requires a 20 gigabyte five hour install every time game is inserted for play. The developer is quoted saying "The game doesn't run any better installed, but we hate pompous PS3 fans so it was important for us to make them wish they had Xbox 360s". The game will be shipped on Six Blu-Ray discs that must be swapped every two minutes throughout the five hour install. "We wanted to make sure PS3 fans don't leave and make a sandwich or anything. We want them to sit through the whole thing and regret being PS3 fanboys".

More info as the story developers.
