Topic	Oh, so physical copies do absolutely nothing now?

Seems a bit of a dumb thing to say being as consoles have HDD now so taking up space doesn't really matter. This is only partially true. Sure, games install so things can be processed faster. The reason they don't take up space is because you can uninstall but still have that copy stored externally. Keep the saves and all. The idea is to avoid hours of DL'ing or missing servers. Given the choice I'd rather look at colorful box art than a bunch of wires and external HDD's. In other words with physical discs the console HDD is more temporary workspace than actual long term storage. <cite>DPsx7 posted [p:909064665] in Oh, so phy...
