Japanese gamers lumbered with horrendous load times on Bayonetta were thrown a lifeline by today.

Sega of released a patch for PS3 gamers allowing them to install Bayonetta to their hard discs in a bid to shave some load time off the game.

Whilst leaving all the critics speechless with some ridiculously addictive gameplay, Bayonetta has been criticised for the PS3 version being inferior to the version.

Sega have yet to announce whether or not the patch will be making its way Westwards.

Thanks Eurogamer.
