Do they still have that bullshit about only being able to play a game on a single system?

__________________

It's to cut down on load times. The 360 version takes up to 3 times as long to load between stages, cutscenes, different rooms, etc.

yes, that answers a completely different question that I didn't ask.

So I'll rephrase.

Wait - no I won't.

How long before your 40GB lolsony hdd runs out of space then... Every time you wan to play a different game you have to go through a 20 min install??

Not every game does it, and they store various amounts. I currently have 8 games which are taking up 9202Mb of disc space, so I still have 45Gb to play with. Size varies from around 180Mb to 4.4Gb, and none of them took anywhere near 20 minutes to install. Not sure why DMC is so bad...I believe it uses ~5Gb.

If you do start to run out of space, delete the game utility data (it's held separately from the saved game data and will be reinstalled next time you put the disk in), or replace the hard drive. I've got my eye on this atm. Swapping the drive is a piece of piss, there's a guide here.

Unusually for Sony, who practically invented the expensive proprietary peripheral, they've been incredibly open with the PS3. You can connect a whole bunch of stuff to it, keyboards, mice, cameras, headsets, printers, external hard drives, memory sticks, etc. from pretty much any manufacturer..no having to pay the Sony tax. So expandibility isn't really a concern at the moment.

Sony should have its own forum here with all the lolsony threads that come up now and then.

Fast considering some mmo's take hrs to install and patch.

Those MMO's aren't on a "plug and play" console.

Plug and play fucking lol.

Maybe having a hardrive and having to install has something to do with it.

Funny, the Xbox360 version runs fine with no install.

PS: You don't consider it slightly retarded that you require a 22 minute install on a console?
