I just bought my PS3 2 hours ago. But I don't know how to install games on my PS3. Mine is the Slim 120GB. I want to install Uncharted 2. Thanks.

I dont think Uncharted 2 even requires an install, only for the patches for online play

You can't install games to run off the HDD if that's what you're referring to.

Nope-You can't,you will only need to install some games-such as MGS4 when prompted.

Games that will install themselves, even fully, still require the disc to play.

Most games can be installed on the X360 by choice, and some of the PS3 games require an install to play. There isn't a built in feature to install any game of your choice. It would've been a nice feature though.
