southparkmayor Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I was on youtube and saw a video comparing the load times of the disc version and the PSN download version of The last of us. In this video the result was that the downloaded version loaded the game in 13 seconds and you are able to play the game while the disc version lags miserably behind. We know that if you buy the disc Version of GTA V (or any another game) for ps3, You would only be able to install half of the game on the ps3 (8GB), leaving another 8GB forced to be loaded by the bluray. Loading games on bluray is much much slower than from the hard drive. So that means that DownloadeD version of GTA V should be faster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCz1cq8Hhpwu After watching this video, Do you feel that you would have a "2nd rate" or corrupt experience of GTA V? Have you changed your mind of getting the disc version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frantz Fuchs Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Disc. You don't get the full experience with a download. That feeling of ripping open the plastic, slitting the seal, smelling the beautiful scent of the manual, pushing that disc pop slot and inserting that bitch in the console!

Have you changed your mind of getting the disc version? I really don't care how long the load time is. I prefer Disc over download. I'm still getting GTA V Special edition but I'm trying to get a friend to get GTA and I got him going for the Download version ONLY cause of the 75% off any other Rockstar game.

JupiterSound Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 No. I personally like having the physical disc and case It's just my preference to have something tangible. Besides, I'm still rocking the 20 GB hard drive from 2006. I'll be hard pressed to free up the required 8 GB to play GTA, let alone install the whole game.

Ash_735 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Why not both, there was some guys on here the other day who wanted to give Rockstar more money for the game, they can do both! Buy the disc and get the download to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuckmeslow Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Disc because i love the sound of data being read. Especially when things get heavy in the game and my xbox sounds like a blender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason to buy the same game twice for the same console. Disc has more bang for your buck but a Download version is easier to come by and has faster load times.

Agni Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I have a 360, so: Disc, then install whole game to hard drive. Boom, benefits of digital (quiet, faster loading times) AND disc (if my hard drives crashes I still have the original disc to install on another Xbox).

TheGodDamnMaster Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Disc. Disc. Disc. I will never go digital so long as I can help it. I'd love to buy physical PC games, but Steam is just so much cheaper and convenient, so that's the only exception. I'll always buy disc on consoles though.

Oppressor Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 You can't trade in/sell digital download. If I could go to gamestop and trade my digital downloads then sure why not, but since I can't I'm disc all the way. Not that I will ever want to sell GTA5.

Loves GTA Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Disc. More content, (Special Edition stuff) the traditional GTA manual and map, the game case with the iconic GTA artwork, don't have to worry about downloading a whopping 15+ GB of data which would take hours upon hours to download on my sh*t connection.

You must have mis-read me then, I never said I was going to buy two copies, did you miss the thread the other day with people saying GTAV should be $200 and that Rockstar deserve more money for the game, and we were just giving them advice on how they can throw their money at Rockstar by buying T-Shirts and Merch, well, now, they have another way of throwing money at Rockstar, they can buy the physical version so they get the map, disc, etc, AND buy the digital version so they get the faster load times, it's their money to waste, and money that they already want to give to Rockstar.

Have you changed your mind of getting the disc version? The Last of Us only has a small install of like 50MB from that's just stuff like trophy data and other junk, it loads entirely off the disc like previous Naughty Dog games. GTA V's install is basically going to be half the game with all of the important data being put on the HDD and likely the only stuff being read of the disc being media data like music and video content that doesn't need that much bandwidth. There's little reason why one version should load faster than the other though if there's any difference it should very small.
