Anyone who thinks that blu-ray drives are slower check wikipedia.

Ps3 Blu-Ray drive @ 2X = 72Mbits/S

Xbox 360 DVD Drive @ 12X = 127Mbits/S

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD (check Speed chart for a 12X drive)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray (Check speed chart for a 2X drive)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ps3 (check the hardware section for drive speed)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_hardware (check section on drive speed)

You Sir Fail

 

Currently that's true. I expect Sony to release a PS3 with 4x for Blu-ray a little further into the generation as there are already PC Blu-ray drives with 4x support (4x Blu-ray>12x DVD). When that happens, I expect a lot more optional installs with future games and patches for mandatory installs to become optional installs.

not sure if sony will integrate a faster bd drive, but its definitely an option in a later version that would probably remove most needs for installs. (also i guess that 8x drives will apear in the next years too)
