I think they mean that it's easier to change a disc 3 times, which might take 30 seconds total, than wait for 3 installs at 5 minutes a piece.

The first install is 8 minutes, the ones inbetween are 2-3 minutes. This is the only game that does this, and as he says, it doesn't say anything about Blu-ray at all.

As I understood it, data is streamed quicker off a DL DVD9 than from a Blu-Ray disc. Thus, the reason for the install times is to reduce the otherwise un-necessarily lengthy load times.

I'm not really up on this subject, but from reading the replies on this topic, nobody really seems to know for sure. So, aren't you really telling me what you hope is true, and not what you know is true?

 

I simply said what Penny-Arcade is implying, not what I believe, and if you'll read their article, you'll see that I'm correct. They are certainly inferring that.

Don't worry though, people infer things that aren't true about the Wii all the time. Hasn't hurt sales any, despite the hopes of millions.
