If you’re a multiple system owner like myself, there are probably several factors that dictate whether to buy the 360 or PS3 version of a multiplatform game. For some, it’s the achievements that do it, while others go for the better-looking version. Personally, I usually want the one that is less glitchy, but another factor has been determining my system preference this year: mandatory installs. PS3 installs have become fairly common over the last twelve months or so, and upcoming anticipated extreme sports game Skate 2 will be no exception.


Skate 2 will feature a 2GB install on the PS3, which isn’t too bad when compared to some of the other installs PS3 owners have had to deal with recently. There’s no word on how this compares to the 360’s optional install, which are usually 5 or 6 gigs themselves, but at least then you have the choice. Since my PS3’s 60-gig hard drive is getting more and more filled every day, it looks like I will be picking up Skate 2 on the 360 instead. Man, remember when 60 gigs seemed like a lot of space?
