QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jul 25 2008, 02:13 PM) Games run off the Blu-Ray disc. Thanks for your answer~ I'm not going to explain the entire terminology on why the installation process on so many games for the PS3. To keep it short and simple, games that are needed to be installed onto the PS3's HDD is due to the fact that the PS3's BD drive speed is only 2x and Blu-Ray's read speed is slow as a matter of fact compared to 360's DVD drive. This obviously will hamper load times alot and in some cases make levels load unfinished(example: Uncharted) for a few seconds. The installation onto the PS3's HDD reduces the load time of the games on the PS3, till the point of being slightly or as fast as the same on the 360. Need more info, PM me.   |

SSJBen, sorry for one more stupid question..
Just like what you answer my question= To keep it short and simple, games that are needed to be installed onto the PS3's HDD is due to the fact that the PS3's BD drive speed is only 2x and Blu-Ray's read speed is slow as a matter of fact compared to 360's DVD drive. This obviously will hamper load times alot and in some cases make levels load unfinished(example: Uncharted) for a few seconds. The installation onto the PS3's HDD reduces the load time of the games on the PS3. So thats mean we can play those game directly which already installed onto the PS3's HDD without running the BD? Due to the lens problem, thats why i do need to ask this.. Doing research, survey and observation before having my very 1st ps3.. Thnks.. |

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jul 26 2008, 01:12 AM) No, games which are installed onto the PS3 are mainly data caches. You will still NEED to have the BD in your drive to play the game. The game runs off from the disc. The data installed onto the HDD eases up on load-times and those unusual pop-in occlusions(example GTA4). Your answer is fast and reliable As for the lens problem, this is very much the luck factor here.  I got it~ Thank you so much.. |
