Noooo. I only have around 1Gb left on my 20Gb PS3. :x Looks like I will have to buy a new harddrive. This makes me angry though, because I was told several times on message boards that 20Gb is more than enough for just games.

Cool we'll get to make swans whilst it installs, better than watching snake smoke. Also, the article says 4.2gb not 4.5gb but the boxart only says 4gb of hdd space is needed :?

Those weren't any less ridiculous either. There is too much hoop jumping to play games these days.

Well, the PS3 is a console... I personally don't mind installs, until I run out of space I guess.

Well, Uncharted 2 had NO install, and took almost NO space so... amazing games have no excuse.

MGS4 couldn't even run without installing the entire level you want to play (like 5GB each) - so this doesn't seem so bad =P

that uncharted 2 SP demo was a whopping 1.8GB the demo was short and the funny thing that demo was in retail stores for months. I actually by chance thought it will be somthing new or extra

Simple solution. Delete game data from your hard drive that you've traded in or do not play anymore.

Seems a bit odd. It's a slow paced game with small environments (as far as I've seen). With Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 not needing installs, I'm starting to think it's the devs being a bit lazy. It's a way to compensate for inefficient programming. Or maybe not, I don't know.

It doesn't bother me too much. Thankfully, I did just swap out my old 60GB harddrive with a 500GB.

Who cares. I wish all games had an install? If it makes the game run better and load faster then I am all for it. Uncharted 2 is great but I hate how long it takes to first boot it up. It's not that I like wasting space, but if they ever could make the game run like a cartridge that would be cool. Hard drive space is not saved data space so I don't see what everyone's probelm is. Who plays more than 3 games heavily at a time? We all have games that we don't play nearly as much anymore.

Thanks for the heads up, but whatever helps make the game run smooth is no problem for me. I also have about 190 gigs of space left on my hdd so that helps as well.

I wish killzone 2 did have an install, i couldn't stand the loading screens during the gameplay. As for Uncharted 2 when you're loading a game, it takes forever. I wish every game at least had an optional install like STFIV.

Seems a bit odd. It's a slow paced game with small environments (as far as I've seen). With Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 not needing installs, I'm starting to think it's the devs being a bit lazy. It's a way to compensate for inefficient programming. Or maybe not, I don't know.

Well, Uncharted 2 had NO install, and took almost NO space so... amazing games have no excuse.

The reason why there are installs on some PS3 games is because the blu-ray player in the PS3 is actually slow so reading the game would cause LONG LOAD TIMES. The installs help diminish the load times. Uncharted 2 had no install because Naught Dog streams the game off the blu-ray. And I'm pretty sure MGS4 was A LOT bigger than Uncharted 2.

You can delete stuff, but yeah I have a launch 60 gig and upped my to 250. You can order a HDD online for cheap I think mine was like $80. That isa large install though, MGS4 and Oblivion both had similar size installs.
