Except installing from disc is slower than downloading
You didn't go retro enough.
You don't install from disk, you run from disk.
To be fair I do remember Spyro taking ages to load each level… N64 didn't have as many loading issues due to the way the cartridges worked
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.
LOL, I am this old.
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.
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 I really think the person arguing with you about internet speeds is missing the point.
The argument about disks shouldn't be about what is faster or more convenient.
Disk or digital? Doesn't matter.
Ownership versus no ownership? That's what matters.
Just happens that almost all digital is not true ownership. I'd love for every site to be like GOG with true DRM-free downloads.
All software is licensed, there’s no true ownership regardless of medium.
Yeah maybe if u live in Estonia which has excellent Internet services.
But definitely not in germany, where u have to pay a shitton of money and still only get shitty speeds lol
You underestimate how slow blu-ray drives are.
No, you ~~under~~overestimate 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?
There is no faster plan.
The only alternative would be internet over 4G, which is supposed to be faster, but the mobile connection at home is so unreliable, it wouldn't be worth the added cost.
I live a couple of houses down a driveway, so laying a new cable is too expensive to justify for just a few houses. This means I get to live with a cable that's half a century old, and me and my neighbours (and others) are excluded from the recent local fiber internet initiative. Some neighbours just use Starlink, but my hatred of Elon and the sheer stupidity of using satelite internet in central Europe are stopping me.
And, while I do live in a small village, I also have friends in Düsseldorf and in Berlin with even worse internet connections.
I'd love to just switch to a faster plan. But mobile just doesn't work here, and I'm not giving money to Elon, so ... there is no faster plan.
