It seems more and more developers are programming their software on the PS3 in a way that requires a portion of the game to be installed to the hard drive before its played to cut down on load times. Its annoying when your hard drive starts to get full because of this.

I would have to agree....I'd like to keep it partially empty....I don't want to have to delete things....

Now that's a matter I SO agree on! And it gets tiresome. I had to wait for about 5-10 mins to play GtA the other day angry I had to find smth to do while waiting tired
That does NOT happens on X360 and that's a Plus

I haven't gotten a PS3 yet, but I've noticed that. A friend of mine got DMC4 and it took like a half hour to install. Not only that, but it took up a lot of space too and more so than any current title. shock

I'd rather give birth to a chair than see an MK vs. DC crossover game.

HDD installation really doesnt bother me. I love having no loading in Uncharted and other games, its great with no loading. Makes the games more free flowing.

And when I finish them, i just delete from the HDD. Simple.
