I thought that was strange... I mean the first thing you want to do when you get a game is play it. Not wait 10-15mins.

Some games played it off, so I guess it's up to the devs on how to handle that.

NBA2k14 had me play a 6min-4 quarter game... when it booted up (Heat vs Spurs). They timed it perfect, 2minutes left in the 4th, the commentary kicked in, and it was done.

Forza 5 had me do an initial race...with some commentary by the blah blah guy

I hope they get better because it is a pain

I don't get the comparison?? Why compare a wifi download against a straight install?? Seems like a stupid way to check them both.

install times are significantly quicker on ps4 no doubt. There is no arguement around it.

It's odd that it takes so much longer. Is this something that maybe they can/will change or fix in a patch later on?

duh because ps4 isn't installing the whole game, they already said its just a cache.

anyone that thinks 30 gig can install in 30 secs needs their head checked
