Rockstar has issued a warning to those purchasing Grand Theft Auto V for Xbox 360: do not install the game disc to your hard drive. Grand Theft Auto V will be released on two discs for the Xbox 360. The first disc will be an install-only disc that is mandatory to playing the game. You insert this disc first, install the game that weighs in around 8 GB, then you will play the game using the second disc. This is the disc that Rockstar is advising you do not install to the hard drive.
If you want to see evidence of why this is a bad idea, the great people at Digital Foundry have put together a video that shows the disadvantage of installing the game disc. The most noticeable differences are objects and textures popping into the game late. You can watch the video below.
For those buying the game for PlayStation 3, do not fret. The game comes on one Blu-Ray disc.
