Heads up for Xbox players - Rockstar recommends (as do I) not installing the Play disc because it's disruptive to draw distance.

Install the install disc and then play the Play disc in the dvd tray, or install it to a USB.

The same-harddrive conflict is pretty noticeable when you're driving around, it looks grainy, and just kind of wrong.

In my case I put in the Install disc when the console was on, so it installed that and then requested the Play disc, then said Installation Complete, so my next step will be to delete the Play disc from the drive. I should have booted up with the install disc already in the tray, to be able to install them separately.

Wait, what? Draw distance? -- nm - David Sep 17, 15:25 1
- Here, these videos show the effect (no spoilers) - Max Sep 17, 15:30
So, boot up with install disc in drive. Will do. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 17, 15:21
So it gives you an option to install the Play disc after Disc 1? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 17, 15:20 4
- If you're booted up and insert the Install disc, you don't get the option. Installation starts, then "Insert Disc 2" then "Complete." - Max Sep 17, 15:25 1
  - (the effect of doing it 'wrong' won't ruin gameplay, it's just noticeable and annoying if you're picky about draw distance and pop ins) - Max Sep 17, 15:27
- Nevermind, just asked me to insert it. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 17, 15:24 1
  - actually, scratch what I said about the auto install. I just tested it. If you don't manually install Disc 2, you're good. -- nm - Max Sep 17, 17:05
