Why do people bash 360 for having multiple disk when

PS3 has install times for each game

I played MGS4 and you have to wait 10 minutes for each install time after every act

While changing disc takes about 4 seconds

No one has a problem with changing disc, you need to understand that one of the most marketed features of the PS3 is its Blu-ray drive. Regardless about how cows feel about disc-swapping, they are going to bash the 360 for it. Its about finding any little excuse to make the PS3 look better.

I honestly dont mind changing to another disc a whole total of 2 times.

Wasnt a problem for all the games on ps1 and ps2 that had multiple disc, wasnt a problem for muliple discs on pc that i have, and hasnt been a problem yet on any 360 games that have lots of discs (blue dragon,l lost odyssey, last remnant,etc..). Changing a disc after a month is not a problem imo for an rpg.

[QUOTE="Steppy_76"][QUOTE="skektek"] 1. Not every PS3 game requires an install. 2. Its more like 3-5 minutes per act. 3. Loading from the HDD (@40-50MBps) saves time vs loading from a disc (12x DVD@12-16MBps). In the end you actually save time.GranReyUno

[QUOTE="GranReyUno"][QUOTE="Steppy_76"]1. Not every game requires multiple discs either, so that point is moot. 2. Swapping discs takes 10-30 seconds, even doing so between every act still saves a LOT of time. 3. Would only apply in situations where the disc can't load things quick enough. Since both the disc and the HDD are sufficient for most of the gameplay, you aren't "saving time". You didn't really believe this point when you wrote it did you?Steppy_76

[QUOTE="Steppy_76"][QUOTE="GranReyUno"] What if one of the disc gets damaged are lost? :(110million

It was kinda annoying having to install at every act in MGS 4, wasn't 10 mins, but having a 2-3 min load time at the start of the act is annoying. Swaping discs would had been faster.

[QUOTE="Steppy_76"][QUOTE="GranReyUno"]What if one of the disc gets damaged are lost? :(110million

The Blu-Ray disc may keep it save from being scratched, but not damaged. Also why does this having multiple discs would be easy to lose or damage? I had never lost any CD or DVD, and I have alot of them, and a ton of multiple disc games.

Not all games use installs. With blu ray you can copy data lots on a disk to make load times better.

and installs are better. I can imagine Killzone 2 might have an install, now imagine playing that game, a game devs made to be very immersive, then it tells you to swap disks... It completely ruins it.

Its called advancing, by your logic I guess we should just stck to CD's, or maybe vinals...

It's 1 minute to install between acts and just like with installs disc changing is exaggeratedMongo-Boss

[QUOTE="Mongo-Boss"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] What? It was longer than a minute for me, closer to 5-8 depending on the Act.SpruceCaboose

Yes, but all 360 multiple disc games are badly packaged and damage one disk.DarkyC

[QUOTE="NinjaMunkey01"][QUOTE="Steppy_76"]1. When we see a non RPG get multiple discs, THEN use that point, until now it's been ALL RPG's. 2. Even IF a non RPG was on two discs, now the 360 can install the game completely to the HDD also. And if they choose not to, there is STILL less downtime than having an install. Seriously, a disc swap takes less than 30 seconds. 3. Wouldn't a "please sit through this install of 3 minutes" be MORE distracting that swapping a disc? 4. If you used logic you'd realize that BOTH dvd and bluray sit above the "cutoff" line of multiple discs 99% of the time, while CD's would be below that threshold 99% of the time. That argument is weak and always has been.Steppy_76

yeah, i too have noticed that sony fanboys tend to nit pick other consoles' tiny faults while ignoring their own much worse onesCheckingAvailab

[QUOTE="Steppy_76"][QUOTE="DontBeHatin1983"]each install is not 10min and each act takes about 2/3min to install you never played the game. i really dont know why people compare installs and multiple disks, install a game on your HDD can benefit the games multiply disk dosent. DontBeHatin1983

No one has a problem with changing disc, you need to understand that one of the most marketed features of the PS3 is its Blu-ray drive. Regardless about how cows feel about disc-swapping, they are going to bash the 360 for it. Its about finding any little excuse to make the PS3 look better.
