2. Why is improving load times a bad thing? It's not like the load times are much worse than the other 2 without the installs, but it helps. When the xbox installe files did people criticize that as showing that the load times would be slower than the PS2 without doing it? No, it's just better and a nice option.

3. Yeah, early PS2 games were on CD until developers ran out of space.

Yes, movies are part of it, and it will make a difference for games. Stranglehold getting Hard Boiled on the same disc (1080p) is awesome. It makes the PS3 version the definitive one and only $10 more for a great movie on the same disc. I am happy investing in something that I know will be worth it. I am not as shortsighted as I think some 360 owners are with being happy paying for everything seperately. I understand if it's a saving-up money issue, but arguing that the PS3 costs a lot more is only if you use only most minimal of 360 features. And compared to the Wii that doesn't even play DVD movies despite using a DVD drive, I much prefer the blu-ray drive.

2. It's not, but I shouldn't have to pay 200 bucks for the convenience of saving an extra 13 seconds of time when I'm already wasting my time playing games!

3. I think think I would ever judge the merit of a game based on whether it has a movie tie-in or if it fits both the movie and the game on a single disc (which is convenient, granted), and rather on the merits of the game itself, but that's just me.
