I put a SSD in my PS3 a few weeks ago, a 40GB Kingston (Intel-made) and in Gran Turismo 5 it greatly reduced the time it takes to load between menus, load cars, load races / tracks, etc. I haven't measured the difference but I think it cut the time to load most of these screens by more than half, though during some of the time it does not flash the disk light so something else mustbe contributing to the delay. Presumably it would also improve performance with other disk-intensive games such as GTA, which when I played it always seemed to have occasional hiccups when travelling at high speeds.
I was wondering about an SSD in the PS3 the other day when playing GT5 and seeing the HD light grinding away... might have to find a 40gb ssd to slap in the PS3 now!
