Trays are probably better, but definitely take more wear... though PC CDRoms do fine, consoles probably take more abuse so it could be more of a problem. Though they're probably doing it because I bet it's a bit cheaper to make it top-loading... maybe. Or space saving (footprint-wise)? I don't know.
Anyway, I'd think that not having a HDD spot would be pretty stupid... sure not many games use it, but it seems like a major feature to leave out. But then again Nintendo dropped the digital video out port from newer Gamecubes...
