Hey all, who's picking up Far Cry and up some multiplayer over weekend? I saw/felt/caressed mine at shop today, it comes in a huge $%# off big wooden box, but alas the embargo is till midnight tonight so I can't get my greedy little hands onto it until tomorrow after work. Anyone else getting this edition?

The real "motorbike" comes when i get my motorbike license. But alas, tis just my new work scooter, unrestricted feeeeeellss niiiiiice. Going down the back alley way clocked 68 KM/h, and that wasn't even full throttle.

For those thinking of getting this on PS3, it's got another hefty HD install.

Quote:
 
it's a far cry away from being install free. The Ps3 version, cause as much as the droids hate to admit it, is my console of choice as a set top box... (Not as a console alone, but as a set top box) ... I like the ease of access and no nonsense way the Ps3 handles booting up and getting to where you need to go.

But fucker butter that, right now Far Cry 2 is the topic and it has a 3.5 gb install on the ps3 and it's a mandatory one at that. This means if you buy Saints Row 2, bio Shock, Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3 you're going to be out 17gb of space on your hdd's.

Hey, Sony.... we need some relief here. hell, I have a 320 gb HDD and I'm feeling the pinch cause I buy damn near everything the PSN has to offer and get a multitude of games. Right now I am sitting at 204 gb left on the drive. It sucks.

Well, alot of it is denied feverishly, but basically the Blu-Ray drive is not as fast as the DVD drive in the 360. It gets debatable because essentially the Blu-Ray drive has alot more ground to cover searching the disc, but that's pretty much the bottom line.

So to save going back and searching the disc for a commonly used texture, for example, they get you to install it on the hard drive so it can be referenced quicker and bring it up a respectable load time.

I forget who it was, but one developer admitted that though they did use most of the space on a Blu-Ray for their game, they did in fact repeat alot of information just so the data was closer together and could therefore be loaded quicker.

I wouldn't as far as to say it sucks, but this is how the life cycle of an drive works. The early CD and DVD drives were slow as well. The difference is, neither of them were introduced to a console till they already had at least a small amount of maturity to them. This time, the PS3 was pretty much the first place anyone ever came across a Blu-Ray. I think it was pushed too quick into a system that requires disc read for it's entire operation.
