L.A. Noire was once a six-disc game on Xbox 360

But any gamer would tell you that if you're going to buy an Xbox 360, you might as well go "big" and buy a 250GB version due to encroaching limitation with the 4GB version such as:

As a gamer, don't half-ass it, right?

And, yes you do have the option of buying an Xbox 360 PROPRIETARY USB such as the Xbox 360 - 16GB 2.0 Flash Drive by Sandisk for only $30 via Amazon.  But you get this NON-PROPRIETARY Western Digital 500GB 2.5 SATA for $55 also from Amazon during the time of this writing.  Much better value here with hard drive prices constantly dropping.  So my successful counter argument and point that "Owning a console which allows the user to purchase and self-install a non-proprietary relatively inexpensive 2.5 SATA hard drive is NOT extreme.  It's smart shopping" still holds true and still stands.

 

I would definitely tell people to, "half ass it." They can save $100 and the only big sacrifice is no online co-op campaign in Halo: Reach? Big deal. I wouldn't tell people to buy the hard drive unless I really think they're gonna utilize it. Most people don't.

Its more important that the PS3 use non-propritary hard drives because a hard drive is mandatory to use a PS3. You also need a lot of storage because of mandatory installs and big updates.

Okay, so I could make the claim that most 160GB PS3 users are only using it for gaming so they have little to no use for upgrading the hard drive.  So therefore, it would make Pearljam's claim of:

"The other forces you to clutter up your HDD and waste several minutes, JUST to try the game. What if you want to go back to a game a few weeks later, but you already deleted the install data? What if the game sucks? You wasted time installing it for nothing, and now have to waste more time deleting it."

...invalid.  So you buy you a 160GB PS3, and you're all set.  So we're in agreeance.  Good stuff, huh?
