I don't have the game yet (playing through DMC1 and DMC3 right now), but I've seen from a lot of other sources that it does, indeed load faster after the install. Granted it is just a load time, and from what I hear on the 360 end, not a terrible one at that. And, uh, I've never had problems with Blu-Ray being "not good for game playing" -- last time I checked...the games totally worked. A few seconds is still an improvement, but not a gameplay feature. I'm not trying to antagonize you, here, but the sheer bluntness of your statement reeks of ignorance -- and everyone can totally see it, so it's not really worth trying to defend your point. On a side note, I never thought I'd see the current-gen consoles being compared to the 16-bit era in any way in terms of speed :) [You’re absolutely wrong, and anyone who’s dealt with programming can tell you that the Blu-Ray drive is not good for game playing.]
