This is the reason I don't think it's stupid.

I would love to be able to completely install games to the PS3 hard drive like the 360 does, I hope it becomes an option soon.

That's a different story.
I have a 360 too and love installing the games ... but that's a user's choice.

Re: Am I alone in thinking that installing console games is stupid?

So you hate forced installs that allow a developer to take advantage of the hardware available to them...?

Seems like it's another caveat of PC gaming making it's way to console gaming. And the lines will continue to be blurred...

I love being able to install game to the hard drive, especially with the 360. quieter, less heat, and faster load times. whats not to like? I have the 120GB hard drive for the 360 and now used up 71.8 GBs in just gaming(the game, DLC, and game saves). Oblivion is really great after installing to HD. luckily I stream my media from my PC so I don't have to have it on my 360 drive.
