      If they use a good, 12X bluray drive, it will be quicker to install from a disk than to download it unless you’re lucky enough to have a good fiber internet connection. Even then, the servers you download from will often be overloaded and slow on release day.

        That’s not my point. Most games do install fine from the disk.

        He’s talking about playing from the disk, too, and that’s a problem.

      Maybe someone could do the numbers and see if a memory (USB, SD*, …) can be cheaper than a BR for this case.
