I really don't think the installs are that big a deal, provided the install data and game save data are separate, and you can delete the one without hte other. doobiwan's last blog post..The Games that made the consoles

I agree, even if MGS4 had a 30min install of 20 gigs, i’d still do it because damn it, i cant wait to play that game

I’m a Pc boytjie, so installs are part of my everyday life.
They don’t bother me at all. I just think that it kinda defeats the whole purpose of a console tho. You’re suppose to be able to pop in a game and play. Not have to worry about stuff like HDD space. It just seems like someone got away with it and now it’s a get-outa-jail-free card when they realise that the Blue Ray player doesn’t read as well as they thought. Not that it’s gonna make a difference. In the end, a gamer is a gamer. We’ll sit through all kinds of crap to get our fix :twisted:

You can recover your gamertag from Live. 360’s hard drives hardly ever fail

My problem is that I may still need that data…. Personally I am happy slapping in a bigger hard drive but I am pretty sure my parents don’t want to..

My dad’s machine has about 6 games currently active… if he had a 20Gb PS3 he would be in trouble now.. that is the only point I am trying to make

Yes, a hard drive failure would be a little bit annoying. But then atleast I'll still have all the games to re-install and be able to download any PSN store games again at no charge whilst being able to play them when offline too. It's a non-issue.

Using installs is just another way of covering a flaw in the PS3.

I would like to see the look on you guys face when there’s hard drive failure :mrgreen:

I still don't get it. The 360 boys are clutching at straws here. Seriously, installing the game is a non issue. Running out of HD space, meh delete some stuff I don't need. OMG I have to wait an extra 10 minutes before I can play the game I've been waiting for 4 years for. OH THE HUGE MANATEE. Seriously Fox1, I'm gonna suggest sunlight. Just throwing it out there.
