In fact, all a basic "print screen" funtion does is take one frame out of the frame memory buffer and copies it to a storage location. In terms of memory, the only thing that's losing in that kind of battle is the hard drive because it has to store the actual files.

The latter is much easier as the game sets out with that much less ram and is built that way, but this leads to non-standard implementation. If they could get away with additionaly features in a separate ram portion that games didn't use, they'd probably already done in game xmb. They have to keep the backwards compatibility.

Especially since Resistance already has it. Then again, Resistance does seem to have a lot of features that other developers and even Sony themselves can't seem to grasp.

This is cool too though. It's probably for make-your-own-video type of thing in something like SingStar rather than a general movie capture feature.
