You can't play backups on the PS3.

As far as I know you cannot actually "install" the games on the PS3 hard drive in it's entirety unlike what was possible with the old Xbox (happy days
). But again as far as I know the only thing that you can do (or is mandatory rather) is have the game "install" parts of the game to your PS3 hard drive in order to act as a permanent "cache" of sorts in order to help reduce loading times/stutters.
How significant this practice is I do not know yet since I don't actually own a PS3. Perhaps someone else can clarify ?Last edited by Raven; 8th June, 2008 at 11:11 PM.
