In addition to the PS3 suffering from data installation on the hard drive, majority of PSP games, including the upcoming The 3rd Birthday are also following the trend as the game will have that option.
Thanks to the slow UMD drive, Tabata mentioned at the 3rd Birthday official twitter that the 3rd Birthday will have a data install for players who will be purchasing the UMD version. The purpose of the data install is to have the game run smoothly with no hiccups at all. He said that the PSN version will also be available.
There is no information as to how much data will be required to install the game’s data. Tabata will inform us on its official twitter as soon as he finds out. He recommends in installing it for those people who wants no long loading times and smooth gameplay.
