I'd be really interested in knowing why this is necessary.
Uncharted 2 manages to work without any install. Put in the disc and off you go. Why didn't this work with HR? |

Tempted to get this game, only thing putting me off is the replay value. But it looks bloody good. |

Bought one of those one terabite (sp?) external hard drives from PC world couple of years ago and I just realised I can back up all my PS3 data to it. So I've a great deal of space on the old box now.
Looks like i acted just in time. |

This means that although the game is released on Feb 26, you don't actually start playing until the beginning of March...

Annoying, but I'll get over it. As mentioned, why these lengthy installs are necessary is beyond me; my 360 games get going straight away, and I never suffer overly long loading times.
I'll bet someone, somewhere, has had a power cut whilst a PS3 game installs - what fun that must be. |

What would happen if the power cut?
I think I read somewhere recently that the 360 has a faster disc read speed than the PS3.
The worst game for installs was MGS4. In our household with two (or maybe even three) people playing their own save game on the same system - the game would do an install for each chapter, but if I had progressed to chapter 2 and then someone else played chapter 1, the game would reinstall chapter 1. Then when I load my game again, it would have to reinstall for chapter 2...  
Tedious. 
In comparison, a one off install bears no consequence at all... |

Its a shame this isn't coming out on the 360 as the crappy installs are one of the main reasons I hardly use my PS3. |

Big deal.
Any game that I get for the 360, I install it to the hard drive to save on fan noise and to gain possible other benefits.
Swings and roundabouts.

If "crappy" installs are preventing you from getting a ps3, you don't deserve to own one. Installs are small prices to pay for truly unique innovations in gaming.
Shut the f**k up, open your third eye and play mgs4 - your life will have meaning! |

I'm not sure that's the right game to recommend to somebody who hates installs!  |

The installs are because of the Blu-ray read speed. It's great for big files but pretty slow for small ones. Texture files, small 3D objects, sound files, etc are all pretty small and usually loaded on-the-fly. If that can't be done fast enough you end up with horrible pop-in like Mass Effect 1. You don't want that in the middle of an action sequence and what you miss is important audio cues. Or you get a blob of untextured crap fly past you.
I'd rather suffer the install and have a smooth game when it's time to play than skip it and have the gameplay ragged all over the shop.

The last game I played (not counting games on my DS) that didn't require installing was Doom back in 1994...

They given it an install cos they can't be doing with any 360 possibility chatter. By giving it an install then 360ers automatically hate it |

I bet your same person that says that disc swoping on 360 is not an issue!
--------------
Before this gets taken the wrong way, disc swoping is not an issue, but nor is game installs. You can't just slate PS3 for installs then claim disc swoping is all smiles and rainbows.
