How do cows feel regarding installing games onto PS3 HDD?

I remember when PC gaming was accused being "awkward" and "user-unfriendly" because you have to put disc into your drive and wait till it installs your game.

Exactly that now is happening to PlayStation 3, which means the good ol' plug'n'play system is probably forever gone with this generation.

So, my question to all Cows is:

How do you feel regarding installs?

Seriously, I think the only people who complain about the installs are the people who don't actually own PS3s...fluxorator

ofcourse, have you ever seen a sheep complaining about the lack of the Wii's library, or a lemming complaining about the XBL fee?? fanboys bash other fanboy's consoles.

Puts less strain on the bluray lens.

It's done once for each game and that's it.

It aint harmful for sure.

Right.

So if you own a gaming PC besides your PS3, do you still hate installs on your PC?

i don't like the trend. but, alas, it seems an inevitibility now.

The HDD is there to be used by devs too the way I see it so I don't really mind the installation especially if its a game I like, for example MGS4. Upgrading HDD is a simple procedure with PS3 anyway. The games end up having fewer load times and other benefits with installation, so I don't really care. Optional is better though in my opinion.

Doesn't bother me too much. I would prefer it not to be there or 100% optional, but, meh.

I don't mind disc swapping either if it's in an RPG. As soon as disc swapping is present on a game other than an RPG, it is so lame.

Well, IMO, it's a pain at the moment. Since I started with the 360 first, I'm so impatient with the installs. I even noticed that I have to install demos as well. Maybe it's because I'm not really into my PS3 yet because I just got it and only have 1 game for it at the moment, but as of late, it makes me a little impatient...

But I have noticed that the games have little to no load times. :)
