This is a lose/lose situation for developers. No wonder Konami didn't want installments mention in MGS4 reviews.
-If the game was design to run totally on the Blu-Ray player then there will be those who cry about the long load times. (Blu-ray is a little slower yet more quiet than spinning a DVD at warp speed.)
-If the game was design to take advantage of the HDD with installments then some complain this uses up space on the HDD. Yet after the installment is over the game will load faster and quieter than spinning a disc at warp speed.

There is no way around the fact that it takes time to pull multi-GB of data off of a disc. There are more 1GB+ games now than ever.
