News: Not as interesting as you may think.
Having to install games to you PS3 hard drive may be annoying but it is for your own good... we think. Devil May Cry 4 was the most notrious of all the culprits causing fans to complain to Capcom directly. Their response?
"Make a sandwich".
Not much of an answer right? Howabout this, Blu-Ray discs can only be read at one speed while DVD discs can be read at multiple speeds. This causes data that was originally built around DVDs and than ported to Blu-Ray to be read at a MUCH slower rate. In other words, longer load times.
The solution? Store some of that data directly on the hard drive and it solves most of the problem.
So PS3 owners, it is your choice: very long load times versus taking a small chunk of time to make a sandwich and eat it.
