    [POLL & DISC] loading times and connection speed

    the title might sound confusing, so here are some explanations:

    i discussed with another member of this forum about a subject that is interesting...

    basically it's about loading time and connection speed; the main question is:
    if you are browsing a game site and see 2 links for the same game:

    1) "click here to play the lite version of the game"

    2) "click here to play the complete version of the game"


    ^ knowing that the complete version has full sound (mono or stereo, in good quality), and a lot of "useless" background animations (eye candy purpose), opposed to the lite version which is the same game but without sound and without eye candy animation (nothing that changes the playability or the game's length). also let's say that the full version is around 3mb, and the light one 300kb...

    > which one would you choose?

    of course your choice will depend on your connection speed i suppose, so i managed to separate the poll with that element (though i would like to hear more from the 56K users, it's still interesting to listen to the high speed guys...)

    feel free to post a comment if you have one also. thanks!
