they could, but they wanted to cut corners, and that was the first thing to go.

We've known this for a while now, even though i still remain adamant that some dev's *Looks at Capcom* just have became lazy. Seriously DMC, Lost Planet and i believe another game they put out ALL have 5 gig installs. Seriously DMC4... I have played and beaten the game and i feel that there should be no reason, NONE what so ever that they couldn't have made the install smaller, or used streaming better. Uncharted has no installs what so ever (besides firmware) and it runs flawlessly.

Is this even news to anyone? I think everyone knew that. DVD-9 on 360 runs at I believe 75x speed. Blu-Ray only running at 2x makes it ideal to cache load times.

It's still less wear-and-tear on the Blu-Ray drive.

By nature, the outer and inner parts of a disc move at different speeds while a disc is spinning, regardless of format (CD, DVD, Blu-ray, HD-DVD, etc.). While DVD drives can read data at those differing speeds, Blu-ray reads at one speed. Combine that with the extremely large size of Blu-ray discs, and simply dumping existing DVD data onto a Blu-ray disc will inevitably result in longer load times.

I feel sorry for anyone who owns the 20g PS3

This is an impostor.
