Thats good news, but install a full game, IMO that's a little too much. Like many have said before, this is pretty much gonna alienate the Pro and Arcade, but for the 60gb and 120gb, thats ace. 10 min is great, but imagine for a multi disc game like Lost Oddysey, that'd be 40 min installing!

Ehhh.

With a Pro model, you can get atleast 1 typical install, or 2 if the games are around 6GB/each.

The big thing is that although this is universal, there are a handful of games that REALLY will benefit from this (again, I always cite Oblivion and Mass Effect)...So your going to be able to fill up that 20GB HDD with ME, and get a huge performance advantage, whereas you might only need it for those 1-2 games.

I agree that the 40min installation on a game like LO is going to be horrible. But considering the normal load times on LO......That 40min installation could save you a ton of time.

And about the PS3-bashing installs. I think some have been, and are hypocritical to bash the PS3 installs just for the installs themselves. I think where it's valid, however, is the nature of them being mandatory to make the game playable, or equivilent to the Xbox 360 version.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
