Playstation 3: Per Game based installs. Installs chapters. Long process due to Blu-ray speed. Nessity due to Blu-ray speeds.
Xbox 360: Every game installs. Installs the whole game. Short process due to DVD speeds. Optional.
So the skinny on it is this, Xbox360 games "copy" themselves to the hard drive, so once its done its done until you delete it. Playstation 3 copies chapters of the game at a time as you play, interrupting the gaming experience.
Microsoft really has got w1n written all over this, cant wait for it.
Whats everyones opinion on the new dashboard to? Not a big fan personally but it looks faster than the groggy old one.

I didn't watch E3 coverage because fucking everything is overhyped and instead of being a place to showcase the best games it's degenerated into who has the hottest booth babes and who has the prettiest graphics. Gameplay, anyone?

# "There's nothing to announce" right now regarding a keyword search for the Marketplace. We hope for some kind of searching option or a better layout for content
# Playing games from the hard drive will work fine for multi-disc games; in fact, you can pick which discs you want to rip (but a disc swap for the correct disc in the drive is required)
# As an example, Joystiq was told that Devil May Cry 4 is approximately a 4 or 5GB installation and takes about 10 minutes to copy onto a harddive: PS3 installation is roughly 18-25 mins
# You'll need to keep the disc in the drive the entire time. This is about speeding up load times and to check if you own the title -- the disc will not spin so no more jet noises
# Xbox 360 notifications look the same but are actually very cleaned up and look sharper -- the sounds are all the same
# Yes, you can still use your gamertag pics and your themes (they look cleaner and more crisp now, an example of what it could look like is above) -- example of a gamerpic in action is in the top right corner of the image above
