Hey guys, I haven't had a chance to listen to this one yet, but will soon. Just wanted to put up a link to some, generally misinformed, format war ramblings going on over at joystiq.com (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/02/why-some-ps3-games-need-installations/#comments). It all started with a post about the fact that since BD reads at a constant speed as opposed to the variable speed of a DVD, developers who (I guess) are just porting over a game don't want to make the adjustments for the read speeds and just have the game install that portion to the hdd instead.
There hasn't been much format war ranting going on lately, thought this might amuse some.
