Due to the fact that all PS3s have hard drives, it is considered part of the overall system architecture to the game developer. Since it is one of the resources available to them, they will use it. Many a developer have mentioned the problem of storage on the 360 (due to the lack of hard drive in the arcade). If Sony wanted to end installs, they should release a PS3 without a hard drive which they won't. I appreciate the fact that Sony fully supports the ability to upgrade your hard drive and doens't force you to buy a proprietary drive for an obscene amount (looks at MS).
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
