This game is massive. It's not GOWIII or Killzone 2. It's a massive massive game. 10 GB isn't too bad. Geez installs make the game run better anyways. You don't want your blu ray drive handling constant loading
@runtheplacered:
Yup, you missed the point, that was.... both games are impressively huge! The trick in cases like this, with massive games is to have all the most commonly used items installed on the hard drive, and the rest read from the optical one. For some games it does work very well (let's say in GoW3 they put on the HDD the enemies and everything related to Kratos, while the maps and videos are read from the bluray) with games that go mix and match like a racing game.... well. If i decided to play with a Panda angainst a Corvette on the Nurburgring, there would be pretty much nothing in common (trees aside, god, in GT trees never look very good XD ) with say, a kart race.

Enough time to make some dinner and spend quality time with the girlfriend... once installed she'll probably won't see me again for a long time.
sweeeeet!
looks like i'll need to hook up that 320gb hard drive i bought for $35 from target. (i have the 60gb ps3)
forza had a lengthy install, wasn't too bothered. (it shipped on 2 discs)
having JUST recently played kz2's campaign, those stuttering loading screens was a real buzzkill. Not that kz2 was great to start with, but those freezing screens honestly made the experience a lot worse. the 50 minute investment will be worth it.

I always install games to my HDD on XBOX since the noise.
Seeing as the PS3 is a lot quieter and has blu-ray discs, I'm truly outraged by this news.
(Not really, GT5 is fucking bollocks)

As long as I can still play while it happens, I don't care. I have and 80 GB and there's still about 30 gigs left after I've done the installations for over a dozen other games. So the people with the new 160 GB slims should have no problem either.
I agree with Dale: "Big fucking deal..."

Hey people, HDD upgrade is just 50$ ! For like a 300gb or more !
You just need a HDD 2.5 inch. 5200 or 7200 rpm. ! Easy to find and any store and easy to install.
Just the transfer can be hard to do ( first time i did it, i forgot to transfer my DLC and saved data :( xD )

50 min after 5 years - worth the wait and space - it is the game that bring the PS3 to it's full potential! Can't wait to get a cockpit for this game
BTW People like Sofik88 are stuck up, people that don't appreciate effort and work, people that like to stick to a "pretty mediocre" console and play only one game -Halo. That pretty sums it up. You can stick with the 360, but don't dis the others - it just makes you look uncool and like a dumb fk.

I'm going with the fact that Gran turismo is the be all end all racing game series, and while it was fun to play back when it was GT2 I just have no interest in picking this up. Whether they have install or don't have install if I'm interested in a game i'll play it, that being said just because you install something on the hard drive doesn't always fix issues that a game may have. Fallout 3 installed on the PS3 had the same glitches as the Xbox 360 version when you installed it, now when it wasn't installed on the xbox 360 you had an entirely different set of problems. Anyone who knows anything about Installing from a disc will realize that if there is problem from the start installing it doesn't fix it or make the issue go away suddenly, I say give people the option of installing it, however a game like this probably benefits from a hard install

I read your comment. And while I do not own a PS3 or have any interest in GT5, I feel that you are a gentleman and a fine investigative journalist!

@asojax,
Whilst I appreciate your point, Polyphony aren't Bioware or Obsidian.
As much as I loved Fallout 3, & am enjoying New Vegas, both are a bunch of broken crap released by companies with no quality control, & somebody needs a good kicking.
I haven't played a buggy Gran Turismo title yet, & with Polyphony's obsession with perfection, I'd be a little bit shocked if GT5 was buggy, even in this "it's acceptable to release it before it's finished" gaming society we live in today.

That's not good news, that's Fucking Awesome News. Multitask installations should be mandatory with PS3 games!
Doesn't make much of a difference for me, once installed it's quick loading right? I'm glad I bought that 500 gig hard drive for the thing though.
Though, as primarily a PC gamer, I have no problem with installs...
...just what the hell is it doing to take 50 minutes to copy across 10GB?
Seriously?

I don't care about the wait either but it's not right to pointlessly slander Forza in defense of GT. That install disc only takes maybe 10 minutes tops! Downloading the 5 track pack takes way longer than that disc. I'm just saying be a proper journalist and get your facts straight. I do agree with your point though. And the pits and pieces thing seems like a fine way of getting around the issue almost entirely with what I assume will just be slightly longer load times between races and thousand car menu screens.
No big deal, I'll just install it while I take 13 dumps. Or watch an hour long show on netflix (on my 360 of course, as this piece is installing). This is retarded. Remember when we could pick up our games (as in multiplayer games, like this one) and take them to a friends house for some fun times? Not unless you want to watch a progress bar for an hour before you can enjoy yourself. Eff that noise.
@munkee thanks for being the only one capable of explaining this. Yes, that doesnt actually sound that bad after all. More games should go about it in this way. And no, I guess nobody else did read your comment (myself included).
I think more egregious than making the player wait an hour before being able to play, (which, I'd say, is worse than you're making it sound), is that it can use up to ten gigs of hard drive space for it. So for the people who got launch PS3s at 20 GB, in anticipation for the next Gran Turismo, congratulations, you will be using up half of your hard drive to play it.
