[quote name='h3llbring3r']IDK, MGS / Uncharted 2 both took me over/close to 30 minutes with install and initial start-up to play the first time. I imagine a partial install & first boot on the PS3 vs the 22 gig install and play on the 360 will clock-in within just a few minutes of each other. Depending on whether or not I fumble a disk in the process.
Are the slims faster at this than my old 60gig?

Has the blu-ray controller on your 60gb taken a dirt nap yet? Sounds like maybe it could be getting ready to if it hasn't? :| MGS4 took like 10 minutes on my 60gb. Uncharted 2 as well. Sometimes loading's a bit slow now with a 320gb in my slim, but still...

And I would think that you have to install the whole game, Zew, at least from Carmack's comments. While it's not a big deal for the people who bought/made 120 gb+ HDDs, I can imagine a lot of people will be pissed off (4gb/20gb/60gb owners, etc), especially if they want to play on XBL if there's multi and they have to run off disc...
It's kind of awesome in a way, actually, because if they do multi disc installs and let you play off, say, require disc 1 to be in the drive -- it kind of solves the "i installed 15gb of ME2 but sill need to switch discs" problem.
I still find it ridiculous, however, that -- for whatever reason it is, the partial install doesn't work; I mean, they have to be able to run off several different discs with only one disc in the drive, right? So why doesn't the 360 "copy the disc to the HDD" work? I mean, it wouldn't be gamer news that the install will be 20+gb if it wasn't required to be installed all at the same time, right? It's interesting to me from a "why" sort of standpoint... :lol:
