Playstation 3 owners haven’t had it too great as of late; with several fairly high-profile games requiring a mandatory installation to the hard drive – this means that anybody who's purchased a 40 Gig (heaven forbid, a 20 Gig) and a collection of games that require the install, are left in a little bit of a tight spot. Well, here's some good news - kind of. Speaking to Joystiq, Pete Hines, the marketing bigwig over at Bethesda, let it be known that Fallout 3 won’t require any mandatory installation, upfront. But that doesn’t mean you get to keep your beloved storage space, because apparently, “it does it in the background as opposed to a large, upfront install."
