Why are people still discussing this? Penny Arcade are wrong! If the game was on DVD9 it wouldn't mean no install times it would mean install from multiple discs.

Why? I mean, you do know why PS3 has more mandatory downloads then 360 right?

It's due to Blu-ray. Without Blu-ray they wouldn't need the download.

Presumeably people are thinking that the game needs install due to the blu-ray readtimes being slower than DVDs.This is false! The read times for a 2*Blu-ray and 12*DVD (DL) are almost the same with the Blu-ray having the sligth advantage.

 

The problem is you aren't talking about read time, but reading speed.

A slight advantage yet it has way more size. If you can run slightly faster then me it doesn't matter if I only have to run 9 miles and you have to run 25. 

Put MGS4 on multiple discs and you have much less space to cover and you find Waldo much faster.
