I consider myself a strong 360 supporter. I dont own a PS3 but have several friends who do, and have seen it in action multiple times. It is a great machine. I prefer my Elite, but hey, that's me. Honestly, installs on the PS3 to me are not a big deal. As previously stated, installs are the norm with PC. Patience is a virtue, so....that being said, who cares. When you beat a game you can delete the install, no biggie...again.
I am excited about the (optional) full installs for my Elite because I DO have the space. Games like LO, and we all know (FFXIII) will/have multiple disks. Not having to switch, faster loads, less power consumption, no disk scratching, ect. seem like all positives. I think the PS3 will incorporate this soon too, and it is a welcome sight.
I dont like that the devs are forcing it on PS3 users just because they can. If MS didnt have the Arcade, I think many devs would force it on the 360 as well. But MS has stated from the beginning that any loads will be (optional), as to not alienate the Arcade owners who just want to play the games.
Just my long ass two cents.
