When I bought the PlayStation 3 back in 2006, I was told by Sony that I was purchasing the greatest console on earth. At the time, I already loved my Xbox 360, so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a system that was supposedly better. Almost three years have past, so is it best? I’m not to sure about that, but I do love it anyway. However, there are some annoyances that really piss me off about the PS3.

One thing I find just BS is having to install a videogame in order to play it. Wasn’t one of the many benefits about playing on a console rather than a PC, is having the ability to play right off the disc? I understand not every game does it, but there are enough to severely fill up my ever-so-precious hard-drive space. When I look at my Xbox 360, I don’t see this crappy install thing happening, unless of course I CHOOSE to do so. Even when a third party develops a game for both systems, the Xbox 360 version can play right off the disc, while sometimes PS3 owners have to wait for five minutes until the system decides it’s done. I know it’s only five minutes or so, but seriously…

Now that my rant is done, the talented team over at Naughty Dog has confirmed that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will NOT have a mandatory install. This comes as a surprise because some early box art suggested that it would require a 1.7 GB installation. Thankfully it will not. Co-President of the studio Christophe Balestra confirmed that it won’t, thanks to his Twitter account, “Uncharted 2 does not require any install,” he wrote.

Thank you Naughty Dog! Now can you teach other companies how to accomplish this?
