I might run this game soon, but I wanted to ask how much better is HDD than Disc. Maybe they're the same, idk, but I have disc and mainly wanted to know whats the timesave on average?

disc loads are inconsistent, mainly on consoles like the ps2. hdd is allowed for all (memory stick on psp since that doesnt actually have a hard drive) due to accessibility or even being a full on feature of the console (x360 lets you install disc games to the hard drive)

we don't entirely have an estimated timesave but just know if you're on something like x360, you're better off installing the game to the hard drive than dealing with the disc drive. take it from me as i had to deal with a shoddy disc drive that could barely even watch fmvs at full speed. the other consoles you have to mod to even play on hard drive, which in this day and age, is normalized to have something like a modded ps3 or a modded wii that you end up playing backups off of
