I think you are talking about mandatory installs for games as opposed to updates, because even on 360 you have to download updates if you want to play the game. Most games nowadays get patched after release, so you have to download the updates to play, otherwise you get signed out. What you are referring to on the PS3 is the mandatory install to the hard drive which doesn't happen on the 360. Yes its annoying, but it is said to decrease loading times and stuff. I do prefer the 360's route though where installing to the hard drive is optional. Glad PS4 lets you play the game while its installing and updating.

That said I tend to get most of my games through PS+, so they're mostly digital. Having PS+ helps a lot since I've set my PS3 to turn on automatically during the day when I'm not at home and download all updates for the system and games automatically. That way I don't have to bother with updates when I turn on the game.

Nope...this is a 608MB software "update" for Gran Turismo 5 not an install.  What makes it even more of a problem for me is my download speed is 2.5Mb.
