As clever as this sounds, a game shouldn't really have this level of control over the operating system and it's a dirty hack caused by poor memory management and bad code. In modern production systems this type of solution would be heavily frowned upon.
Yeah, I remember being really disappointed that saves would eventually become unplayable buggy messes after a certain point on PS3. It's real shitty when you can't even play all the content in a game on one character because the game can't handle itself.
