1 - This really

isn't news anymore.

PS3...installs to assist load times.

Xbox...installs if you want a cooler running machine.

yada yada yada

I don't get it. Why does it take 15-20 minutes to install 4 Gb on the PS3, when it takes within 5-8 minutes to install an entire game on the X360? And why is it mandatory??

@bove
You get a cooler running machine and improved load times with the HDD install; you'll know what I'm talking about if you installed Fable 2 or Dead or Alive 4.

1.3 - Look at the size of the install

3.9GB for a game like Naruto? It's obviously got more to do with than the load times. PS3 installs help with load times, and graphical problems/enhancements. Probably some other stuff we aren't told about.

the ps3 has mandatory installs because the blueray drive is only 2x speed. if the ps3 were to load a game like gta4 off the disk alone youd get unbelievably bad pop. 360s dvd drive is up to 12x so it can load the games off the disk at high speeds with no problems.

Dude, Blu-Ray has faster constant read speeds and is only 1 MB/s slower than the 12x DVD drive of the 360. It has very little to do with the read speed.

A 4GB install for a fighting game?

I could understand if it were an opened world game like Fallout or Far Cry but its a fighting game

i cant begin to imagine what PS3 games would be like if Sony hadnt added a HDD as standard, infact i doubt many games would even be produced for the console at least from 3rd parties

even if it requires only 1GB or 512MB or less, you will then say at least all 360 games don't need install. this game has open world element in it and you clearly don't know and will never ever buy it, right? you came here only to talk smack about PS3 and that's what you've been doing all these times!

This won't even put a scratch on my 1 TB drive for the ps3. They did have a cut down version, it's called the 20gb version. You complain about the amount of space needed for installs and then asks for a cut down version.. it just doesn't add up + major grammatical errors which killed a piece of my brain (axon neurons dendrites pick a piece).

Geez... installs are only ok if it's on the XBox because it prevents the crappy hardware from imploding and makes less noise. Since these people have no idea what it does for the PS3, it must be bad.

Looks like Sony allows the devs up to a 4G install. GT5 is 6, AFAIR. Well, isn't too bad. I got about 20G back on my 60G drive after a cleanup and don't miss anything since. At some point I'll put a 320G in there, but not really urgent.

Isn't it funny when you and other xbutt lemmings show off your shiny new NXE and it's game installs which show know improvement in graphics. But when a genuine high quality visuals title like this uses the full PS3 capabilities, hence it's exclusive, HDD installs are somehow a bad thing.

1.2 - HDD mandatory installs ARE bad

The option to install games on your harddrive for 360 is so much better, because the game plays right off the harddrive. the mandatory installs for PatchStation are just a hassle, since EVERY game has them, and for some reason the load times are still slower than the Xbox 360s? Hmm.. thats odd

A 6-7 gb game takes 7-8 minutes to install on the 360. 3.9gb takes 15-20 mins on the PS3. Don't forget that PS3 owners also have to install demos before they can play them lol! Do you have to install trophies as well before you get to collect them?

4 - Is this supposed to be a bad thing?

I usually see the Xbots laugh about install times but I don't see it as a bad thing. I mean I can see why they see it as a bad thing. They have those small HDD and there are a lot of people that still just have the 20GB HDD (which is really about 13GB) so of course they see installs as a bad thing.

Besides, I wouldn't mind installing this game as I have plenty of space and it will be better than the 360's Naruto game so I think it's worth the install.

5.1 - ...

It doesn't really matter if it did or didn't. But we all know certain "types" will say different only to troll (i.e. not real gamers)

PC's have had installs forever ~ nobody complains about that
360 is now getting them (even as optional) ~ but no one complains then huh?

IT DOES NOT MATTER, NOR SHOULD IT.

The fact is installs (mandatory OR optional) are to take the load of the laser and speed load times, thus it does not matter either way. Because if anyone says otherwise they are only saying so to try and make a weak biased point i.e. it's okay for 360 installs but not PS3? but an install is an install isn't it...so lets review.

1) 360 install "good" because it can POSSIBLY help RROD, Laser issues & load times so that makes it "right"

2) PS3 install "bad" because it does the same but because it is mandatory it is not "right"

Um biased double standard anyone? Whatever. Those who want to be immature, uninformed, biased fake non gamer fanboys will only further prove who they are when they post...it will be obvious.

It's MANDATORY. Unlike 360 installs the PS3 installs don't do much for loading times. They are basically there to support the PS3's bottle-neck memory.
