<p>Well, better to know what to do and what not to do before the game comes out, as <a href="https://twitter.com/RockstarSupport/status/379493174768439296">Rockstar, in a response to a question on Twitter</a>, is advising players to not install <em>Grand Theft Auto V</em>&#8216;s &#8216;Play&#8217; disc to the 360 Hard Drive. If you weren&#8217;t aware already, <em>GTAV</em> comes on two discs on the Xbox 360, one that requires an install and another that allows you to play the game. Normally, installing a game helps with load times and performance, but in the case of <em>GTAV</em>, it would seem that installing the &#8216;Play&#8217; disc will have a negative affect on the game&#8217;s performance.</p>
<p>Said Rockstar, &#8220;For optimal performance, we recommend not installing that disc. We will have more info on our Support Site at launch.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>GTAV</em> comes out in less than 12 hours. So in your haste to play the game, remember this little piece of advice from Rockstar.</p>
