Does this mean the loading times will be quicker on the PS3?
I know.. I know why the install exists but still I wonder what advantages each version will have.

I never mind installs, Yeah it would be better if the game didn't require them, but at the end of the day- if the install adds performance quality, then I am all for it.

And 5 Gigs is literally 1/100th the size of my internal hard drive in the PS3.

Ohh thats right!

 

yes, it probably means the load times are faster on the PS3, just like other games that use installs, such as Oblivion.  No matter how well you code a game, it will always load faster if it uses the HD.

Well if you want to be technical, this game supports hd installs on the 360 too.

It just isnt mandatory...

Also, I don't have any doubt that 360 with optional RE5 hd installs will load faster than PS3 version with mandatory RE5 installs.
