Valkyria Chronicles has optional install
The mandatory installs of the past few months have shaken us up quite a bit, making us keep our eyes peeled for any future PS3 games that may have the dreaded feature. So, when we heard that the install for Valkyria Chronicles was an optional one, we sighed with relief. Still, it would've been better if there was no install at all, but it looks like this is the way it's going to be. If you've noticed that your games and their installs are starting to take up too much space on your 40 or 80 gig system, then it would be a good idea to start upgrading that HDD.
Valkyria's install is sized at 3.3GB and will cut down regular 15-second load times significantly. The game will be out in Japan soon on April 24, and an Autumn 2008 release is scheduled for North America and Europe.
