@DMeisterJ: As I recall it, people who criticized PS3's installations did so mostly because of their mandatory nature.
With 360's situation, you still can:
- pop-in a game and play without installing it.
- avoid installation if you don't have free space.
Those two things alone kill all the annoyance generated by mandatory installations. I know it's fun to try and prove other people are hypocrites, but I see no hypocrisy whatsoever.
This is a nice upgrade, and one that I'm likely to use occasionally.
