Those of you who can't wait for 3rd Birthday, Square-Enix's upcoming PSP sequel to the Parasite Eve series, might be interested to know that you might be able to avoid some obnoxious load times. If any of you have sat down with a copy of Crisis Core, you know exactly what I'm talking about when I say obnoxious.

Needless to say, the game's director, Hajime Tabata, mentioned that they'll be offering you the option of installing the game on your memory stick -- or at least a portion of it. They haven't given any details yet regarding the exact size of the installation or if it'd eliminate the need for the UMD -- of which, I doubt -- but we can always hope. After all, those UMD drives are pretty noisy, don't you think?
