Sorry guys it's not a rumour.

Go read the IGN and Eurogamer reviews and they both note that Konami asked them not to detail installation and cut scenes.

IGN states:

"In return for letting us play Metal Gear Solid 4 before its release, Konami issued us with a list of things that we're not allowed to discuss. This list of prohibited topics is pretty long...One of those things that Konami doesn't want us to talk about is the 'total length of cut-scenes'."

so what if you have great cut scenes and an install for better playback? it works for the benefit.
