The only thing that annoys me about this is not having the choice. A game that I play regularly we benefit from being installed, where as one played less often would not.
Also, I am the sort of gamer who does not really trade or sell games, I tend to keep them and I own a 60gb model. If I had 10 games, which all required a 5gb install, there would be practically no space for downloads, media and the like (one of Sony's strong selling points is the machine's multi media capabilities).
Perhaps Sony could step in with 3rd party developers like Capcom and make it mandatory to offer a choice over installation. Maybe there is a reason the games must be intalled in these instances and cannot run from disc, but I don't think so. Correct me if I'm wrong.
