Seriously dude? I have no idea how many RPM's my goddamn console drive operates at. It is a console, I don't worry about specs. We shouldn't have to worry about specs for a freakin console.

Lol, you're really an idiot. There's entire threads for console specs, are you fucking kidding me? Putting in better HDDs has been a thing people were doing since they originally launched 8 years ago.

Well that's unfortunate. I haven't bought a console in years, but I thought that the standardization was still a big deal, and what the companies based their games upon.

Why is this so personal for you that everyone who disagrees is an idiot? I, along with most people, assume that a console should play any game I get for it. If a straight digital download sucks for some PS3s, then that is a problem. Sorry you can't see that.

1) It's both systems, 2) it'd be a problem for your average dipshit.

This board shouldn't be filled with average dipshits. People here should know better than to load up a terrible, shitty HDDs with games and play them off just it. You have people here posting like they're fucking 80 IQ morons who pick up their games at Walmart. I have no tolerance for bads anymore. If you try to play anything off a 5400rpm drive, you are fucking stupid, end of story.

So if you try and use a console like a console was designed, you are an idiot? That is your rationale? This is the thing that is driving you to foam at the mouth?

No one arguing with your is an "average" gamer, yet I had no idea that consoles had different drive speeds. I just checked my PS3 box and it doesn't even have the drive speed anywhere on the box, only that its 320GB. Get some perspective bro.

Yeah, you're an idiot if you don't know what's in your system. Confirmed bad here. They don't have different drive speeds, every console has a shitty terrible 5400rpm drive in it. Anyone with half a brain should replace it with something decent if they're going to run games on it just like anyone here would for their PCs. This has been a normal console upgrade for this generation since it began 8 years ago.

People here should know better and you're a dipshit.

Can someone please link Rockstar's disclaimer about needing a 7200rpm drive for optimal performance? Or that the digital version won't run as well as the disc/digital combo?

What percentage of console players do you think know the RPMs of their drive on their console? What effect do you think that has on their actual ability to play games?

Every single person here should know it. If you don't know something as simple as that then you should get the fuck out. It has a large effect on games that use the HDD for texture streaming and loading on any game that uses it.

Okay, noted, if someone doesn't know the speed of their HDD on console they shouldn't be allowed to post here.

I can think of lots of more relevant standards for intelligence and worthiness that would exclude you from posting, but I'll just leave it at that.

Unfortunately it was just for the X360 version - they said to not install both discs to the HDD since the game is built to run off the Disc + HDD install. This isn't a problem for the disc version of the PS3 version since it doesn't give you the play disc install option.

So what's the story here? Well, optimal streaming is achieved by making use of all the available bandwidth in the system. Why stream just from the hard drive when you can run in data simultaneously from both the disc and the HDD? Based on what we're seeing on the Xbox 360 version, perhaps running both DVD and HDD assets from just the one source slows down access times, impacting streaming performance. It's not game-breaking stuff, but it does take you out of the moment when it does manifest and for that reason we can't recommend installing the play disc.

There's no digital X360 version and just a digital PSN version which has the same problems as installing both discs of the X360 version.

If you don't know simple specs then you're probably an idiot (see yourself). This place would be improved without you.

So your whole opinion about someone's worthiness is based on whether they know the HDD specs of their console? You know, a stat that isn't even on the box or the paperwork when you buy the console(or at least, isn't in mine).

I hope you have some understanding of how pitiful that makes you sound. Though I doubt it.

I hope you understand what a fucking Bad you are for not knowing simple, 8 year old specs on an enthusiasts forum, but I doubt your meager brain could process that.

Fucking bads everywhere today.
