Reading a review of GTA IV yesterday it described the installation time for GTA IV as "the longest 7 minutes and 20 seconds of your life."
Why didn't they say the longest 8 minutes, I wondered?
Well, presumably they timed it, and it occurred to me to wonder if it varied on individual PS3s.
For instance, the installation time is sure to be faster if you've upgraded the hard-drive to one of those fancy-smancy 20,000rpm jobbies, but what about the optical-drive?
I'm a smoker and have a particularly fluffy furball in the house (like an angora, but short-haired, so the fluff is particularly fine and it drifts everywhere - you can't get rid of it) so it occurred to me to wonder if this might affect the read speed of the blu-ray drive compared to an identical standard PS3.
So you're going to be watching the installation, anyway, just to be absolutely sure that, when it's finished, you don't miss a moment of the intro. So could you indulge my curiosity by timing the install, please?
Does it take exactly 7 minutes & 20 seconds?
More or less?
What model of PS3 do you have?
Is it the standard hard-drive?
Many thanks in advance to anyone that might humour me,
Stroller.
