Gran Turismo 5 Installs While You Play
Sony explained that Gran Turismo 5 installs while you play. Gamers can optimize the settings for the game to unpack pieces of the game as you play.
Sony also said that “GT5 gives users the option of an install. This makes loading times throughout much faster but is not a requirement when first playing.”
“If users choose not to install the data straight away it will do it in stages as news areas, tracks, etc. are accessed during normal gameplay.”
Eurogamer has been independently informed that the 6.4GB optional hard-drive install for Gran Turismo 5 checks out – it’s correct. To do this takes 40 minutes or more.
Gran Turismo 5 will be released on 24th November. That’s a Wednesday, so stay with us for more Gran Turismo 5 news.

I’m worried about the implications of “installs while you play.” Won’t it increase load times?

yeah installing on the hard disk will decrease load times and blu ray drive lens wear. But for jailbreakers they will be playing it from hard disk anyway so for them its not necessary to lose disk space by installing anyway cuz its running from the hard disk in the first place

installing while you play means it will install more files into the hard drive while playing and will increase load times. But after playing the game for a while when all important datas and decompressed and sent to the ps3 hard drive the install times will decrease. So its a feauter more suited in the long run not for a short playthrough.
