Yea.........I can see this being either good or bad. It could cut down on required installs by taking Resistances method or having data redundantly copied multiple times to reduce search time to make up for the slow 2X speed.
On the flip side, someone lazy may just cram it full as possible meaning a redonkculously long search time until Drive speeds are increased.....which won't help people using their PS3s as the only blu-ray player.
