Here’s a very neat function that we didn’t know the Playstation 3 had. One of the items on the main menu of Genji: Days of the Blade is “Install”, which places 4 GB of the game’s data onto your hard drive (hopefully the 60 GB version, or you’ll run out of space quickly!) to cut load times from fifteen seconds to four.

This isn’t the first we’ve heard of this sort of thing. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on the Xbox 360 would take advantage of the hard drive to cut loading times. However, those loads still ended up on the heavy side of things. Four seconds, on the other hand, is fairly snappy.

Hopefully this will become a trend, just hopefully with smaller filesizes than four gigabytes. After a few games, that’ll eat up even the 60 GB configuration.
