Re: [Xbox] Re: Sony to MS: You've punched yourself out of the fight

nobody has 15 games for their ps3 because they all suck for the most part. everyone has been buying it for the bluray they dont play games on it. the system would fail if not for that drive. the real game players are on 360 or their  PS2 not the PS3 thats plain and simple. ~Quinn

The funny thing is that all of the new PS3 games are putting large
amounts, 3-5g of data onto the HD the 1st time you put a game into
the PS3 due to the slowness of the blue-ray drive. So you purchase a
game, pop it into your PS3 and wait 5-20 minutes before you can play
it while it copies data. I know why it is being done, so that the
game loads/streams faster, but there is no choice, automatically
takes the HD space away for any game. If you do the math those poor
people who own the 40g version will put about 15 games into their
system and the HD will be full (averaging 3g per game). If you
delete that data from the HD it will force the auto-reload of that
data the next time you play that game, another 5-20 minute wait.
Good move Sony, way to make users feel loved.
