| id Software games were fun back in the day, with games like Doom I & II and Quake I & II, but all of the newer stuff is boring. |

| Am I wrong in thinking this is just a case of lazy programming and bad optimization? Seriously this game cannot possibly need to be on three discs I can't even think of a PC game that requires three discs. |

Meanwhile on the PC land, the PC gamer buys his game digitally, it downloads on his 2TB hard disk and he couldn't care less uninstalling reinstalling anything!
Need more space? Get a second HDD.
Add to that superior graphics, resolution, motion, etc. And they call them "gaming" consoles. LOL! They should call them, "bust your balls" consoles! |

GTA 4 is ~24GB install on PC
on the other topic: buy 500gb hdd for ~30$, open trashbox 360, take out and clone original drive to new 500gb hdd, put 500gb hdd in trashbox 360, install all three discs of rage that you just downloaded of a torrent site for free, win. |
