Just saw some news on Eurogamer from Rockstar saying people shouldn't install the 'Play' disc onto the 360 HDD as it can result in pop-ins. They've got a video comparison there as well. Basically it's to do with streaming from two sources vs just one if both disks are installed onto the HDD.

 

Hopefully the noise from the disk drive won't be too loud when playing.

To be honest i can't remember how loud the 360 drive is as i haven't used it in ages and i've been installing the games to the HDD but if i can play through The Last of Us on my fat PS3 with its fan blowing full blast i think i should be able to manage here :laugh:

What's there to patch? Just don't install what you're not suppose to install and all will be fine.

Given that I've installed "disks" from other games (forza, Fallout, Halo) that had multiple disks why shouldnt I be able to do it with this?

 

As mentioned above I also have an original model Xbox that sounds like a helicopter taking off and I suspect doesnt have much life in it so running from disk is usually a bad idea. I also remember GoW 1 was played so much that the disk was ruined and would no longer play. I'd like to avoid any risk of such things happening.

 

I'll be installing both regardless.

Hopefully they can patch this.

 

This has been an issue with many dual disc high res games. It can't pull from the HDD in multiple places, where as it can pull from the HDD and the disc at the same time. Same thing happened with BF3.

Could you install the game to a separate flash drive and then install the play disc on the hard drive? Would it be able to recognise the data on both drives.

That would eliminate it accessing the same drive.

Check the third update: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-09-16-rockstar-warns-dont-install-gta5-xbox-360-play-disc

UPDATE 3: Digital Foundry has investigated the matter further and discovered a possible solution to the Grand Theft Auto 5 Xbox 360 "play" disc installation issue.

The video, below, shows footage of the game played with the "install disc" installed to the Xbox 360 hard drive, as is mandatory, and the "play disc" installed to a USB flash drive. Doing so appears to eradicate the performance issues found when both discs are installed to the Xbox 360 hard drive.

 

Ouch.

Is that for real?

Yes. Watched a live comparison between the two versions and the PS3 was well behind. And not only in the lod.

I'm glad next gen will have day one digital downloads, fed up of this whole send day before and hope it arrives crap, not to mention RM deliver here around 3-4pm.

 

The only reson I pre-order online than go to the shops is because you usually get it a day early.

      Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
