![]() Why stream just from the hard drive when you can run in data simultaneously from both the disc and the HDD? Based on what we're seeing on the Xbox 360 version, perhaps running both DVD and HDD assets from just the one source slows down access times, impacting streaming performance. "So what's the story here? Well, optimal streaming is achieved by making use of all the available bandwidth in the system. However, doing so impacts the game's ability to stream texture data, resulting in regular pop-in of in-game objects and textures. It takes up an additional 7.8GB of storage.

UPDATE 2: Digital Foundry has created a new video, below, that shows why it's best Xbox 360 gamers follow Rockstar's advice and not install the Grand Theft Auto 5 "play" disc. Doing so appears to eradicate the performance issues found when both discs are installed to the Xbox 360 hard drive. The video, below, shows footage of the game played with the "install disc" installed to the Xbox 360 hard drive, as is mandatory, and the "play disc" installed to a USB flash drive. ![]() UPDATE 3: Digital Foundry has investigated the matter further and discovered a possible solution to the Grand Theft Auto 5 Xbox 360 "play" disc installation issue.
