The user experience is somewhat burdensome
The games themselves look and feel good, but the experience of launching a game and getting up and running takes way too long

^^^^

utter bull shit
You press X, and thats it your start the game...

Minimal modern touches (ie. Social features)
Xbox Live has a community and marketplace. Playstation Home is compelling but empty which should even out over time. But, the competition is so far ahead, Sony needed to do something much bigger and better

even more bull crap, seems the ps3 doesnt have a market place, and it doesnt have community aspects lol

The media continues its bull shit attacks against sony, and the ps3, really starting to get old.

The highlighted part is actually true, Leo-J.  Almost every PS3 game requires some form of installation.  It takes a lot of the "awe" factor out of buying a new game when you take it out and have to sit and wait a few more minutes to half an hour for it to install.  PC games are meant to be this way, console games are not. (and before anyone says "360 games can install too!", that is an OPTIONAL element to improve load times and decrease noise/wear and tear on the DVD drive.  When a 360 game is installed it runs FULLY off the HDD and not off the disc at all)

 

Can I get a link for that? The last list I saw had 55 PS3 games listed with some sort of installation out of a total of what 300?

That would mean roughly 1/6th of PS3 games require it; not "almost every" one. Quite a difference.
