I've never understood why people are unhappy with the multiple discs. lord-of-shadow Send a noteboard - 12/02/2010 04:18:42 AM
It means that there's a lot of friggin' content. Back when PS1 games had 4 discs, it was considered a good thing; people would get excited over it. I'm not sure why that changed.

Having to switch discs is a tad bit annoying, but really - you only need to do it twice per play through. Once every 10 hours of play. It is absolutely worth it.

There IS a way to install the discs, actually. It's a lot more work than just switching the discs a couple times though. It does help a little bit with load times, but barely enough to be noticable.

Go to the "my games" section of the dashboard, the same place where you'd go to play a downloadable game, and then... well, I don't remember exactly. Mess around in there, you should find the option to install the discs. You still need to have them in the console for DRM purposes, though.
