Black Ops II PS3 version gets texture install option 

galaxynextdoor:

PS3 owners looking to shoot their buddies in the face this November in Black Ops II are going to be able to do it with a little less wear and tear on their system. Treyarch have announced that Black Ops II on PS3 will have an option to install all game textures, providing a nice boost to performance and less use of the Blu-ray drive. Let’s hope the online isn’t borked come launch day, that would be a real accomplishment.
