  You didn’t go retro enough.

  You don’t install from disk, you run from disk.

    Ah yes, put the disc in, wait 5 minutes for it to load.

      There are simpler ways to say that the PS3 was your first experience with gaming.

    You underestimate how slow blu-ray drives are.

      No, you underestimate the internet speeds in some parts of Germany. I get maybe 11 Mbit/s on a good day, about 5-6 Mbit/s average, and less if anyone else in the house is using it. And yes, that’s Mbit not MByte.

      According to Wikipedia, the slowest Blu-Ray speed is 36 Mbit/s, so about six times my average download speed. And Blu-Rays can go up to 576 Mbit/s.

        Why don’t you switch to a faster plan then?

  For both xbox and playstation, right now, with discs, unless your internet if faster than 200Mbps, discs are faster. Also, installing from disc has no bandwidth caps, which is common in many places.

  And if you say “I have faster internet”, good for you buddy. Your experience isn’t shared by everyone around the world.

    Of course interent is faster than 200Mbit, it’s 2026. 1Gbit is standard and if you’re willing to pay a little extra you can get up to 8Gbit up/down.

    Also, bandwidth caps? On residential internet? WTF.

      1Gbit is standard

      Fucking where? The “premium” service my ISP offers only promises 100Mbit, and I’m not exactly in the boonies.

        In a lot of places that aren’t America, sadly.

        But that’s all irrelevant because the argument about disks isn’t about what is faster or more convenient.

        Disk or digital? Doesn’t matter.

        Ownership versus no ownership? It matters.
