what I think would be cool is have every PS3 game give you one of four options when you put the game in regarding HDD installations.

(1) No install: the game is simply streamed from thedisc.

(2) Partial install: Like most games (Warhawk, Motorstorm, etc,) a smal amount of data is installed, but it doesn;t really have much of an impact beyond allowing the game to be played if th disc is ejected during gameplay.

(3) Full install: A large amount of data is taken off the disc in the background during the first few minutes (like Uncharted)

(4) Total install. All the data on the disc is loaded onto the HDD in a temporary file that will automatically if it is not used for a certain amount of time. (say, 48-72 hours or so). obviously, the system would check to make sure the HDD as enough space before enabling this option.

Not that I think Sony will do this (I'm sure at least the 1st and 4th options would be possible without devs having to do anything) but I would really like it if they did.
