yeah? When was the last game that had a mandatory install take hours to install (more then 1)?
Most today that are over 4GB take about 20-45min
everything below that is usually fast.
Prob. the worse install time for a game is MGS4, only because you have to install after every act again and again.

even GT5 optional 8-10GB install take around 40-60 min. and thats 8GB
Would rather take the few minutes to install LA Noire than be playing the game and be attached to it only to have it ruined by the please change disc screen.

Disc swapping isn't bad at all as people are making it out to be.
And for most games on PS3 today, neither are installs. people make out that Installs take hours to do when in most cases they are less then 10 minutes.

neither of the 2 are as bad as people are making them out to be.

For games that have those long installs yeah they are frustrating, but strangely enough these long installs don't exist on games where the other platform have multiple disc.
Yeah i will say some games have the edge on the 360 where your just able to play right away. But this is about LA NOIRE, the install time will be around 5-10min for that size, i could easily make a sandwhich in that time ;-P

@ Nitrowolf

So you'd rather spend 20-45 minutes waiting for a game you've just bought to install than spend 30 seconds swapping discs some way into the game?

I don't have a problem with installs themselves, I install all my 360 games, but I usually do it after my first play of the game. Having to sit though an install of a game you're eagerly waiting to play is hugely frustrating.

For anyone that actually read the article
its clear that this 'journalist' is a misinformed fanboy.

Since when do PS3 games take HOURS to install!?!

@jony_dols

exactly. This article makes out that swapping isn't a problem because most people are streching the truth about it or something and yet they claim installs take hours. LA NOIRE PS3 install isn't gonna be hours. Both install and disc swapping have there issues.

@guigsy

would rather have the game installed and be set for life if i ever wanted to replay the game story, which i usually do.

also it's not like 360 fans havn't complained about multiple disc on PS3.
I remember when there was a rumor about GT5 using 2-3 discs, fanboys came in and attacked that saying BD isn't needed and disc swap is a hassle because GT5 uses 3 disc.

either way both games will be the same experience.
