1st of all I can see u'll been here longer then i am ( I can see all the bling under ur user name) and as I can see, this thread does not belong to Console Couch
it belong to Playstation SubForum

If by all mean u have a question about Playstation ,just ask them inside Playstation Sub forum I can guarantee u that there will be no THROLL or GHOUL that will create war.

2nd No one says his/her own shit stink..no one will says his/her favorite console bad..

Next time post ur question in the right place...sorry if I've hurt ur feeling

Lion and Tiger don mix although they come from cats family

is installation BAD?

yes it is baaaaaadddd

i ran away from PC primarily because of the upgrades,but also because of the installation.

now im smack in the middle of it yet again.

im used to loading,so i could care less (hell,the so called installation doesnt remove loading..just reduces it) tongue.gif

after all, most of us have big ass hdd to begin with, cheap, easy to find and we can copy almost any media available, mp3s, avis, mp4, pictures you name it.

those of us with stock HDDs are f*cked.

and changing sounds nice,but not all of us have the spare cash tongue.gif

OK we can call it Sony PC3 now. TO make it stable for both side, we can call xbox360 = XROD360.

at least with a console u can safely say that u can play it after installation...but on the pc...after long minutes of installation, then only u realize u can only play with the lowest setting, worse case...can't even play it. doh.gif

who cares? i do, because it's a curiosity of mine.

about the instruction and all, the thing is i dont have a ps3 so i had never read the instruction that you are talking about. so watch your mouth when you get into other people's thread and offend away. people like you might not last 5minutes in a bar with that laser mouth of yours...

ah, about your saying the 3ROD shit. i think the only person trying to provoke a flame war here is you.
*
ooohhhh....scary.......well sorry for ur misunderstanding, if you are curious, just google it? well i dont intend to start a flame war, but the way you posted ur topic here are not suitable, since there will be Xbox users trying to talk crap bout PS3, why not go to Playstation section instead? thats why i said this topic is useless, it intends to provoke flame wars...

PS: please make sure you ask a PS3 OWNER IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PS3, why bother asking anyone who does not own a PS3, the result is, they'll talk crap about the PS3....cause they never used it....

Frankly, im not bother with the installation thingy, since the installation are less troublesome compared to PC's

most the the early batch of PS3 game did not require any installation. But the best example is Burnout Paradise, now not only you dont need to install the game, you can buy the game directly from PSN store with cheaper price and load from hard disk directly

[sarcasm] yeah...my PS3 is th early batch and wont need to install any game as the blu-ray drive is the 16x drive compare to the other...yeah, my PS3 is a custom-made special edition created only for me by Sony[/sarcasm]

Can you even READ properly..i said GAMES, not the hardware. Did Heavenly Sword/Motorstorm/Lair/Ninja Gaiden/Resistance/DiRT need to be installed?..and by the word 'install' i mean mandatory install, the one like DMC4/ GTA4/MGS4.


next time...before even shout, try to read properly first

actually a failed lens ps3 can still be turned on, play PSN games and MP3, Avis, browse the new, linux bla bla.

Only disc based media is affected. Once replaced, its as good as new. No fear of playing it again wink.gif
