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.

I remember when those comments were made..boy has things changed as time goes by. I never would've thought these PS3 games would require a mandatory install..it's very unfortunate because it's one of the many weaknesses of the PS3.

actually why do people make such a great fuss about something so simple, the ps3 has an integral hdd just for this kind of stuff, game data files, the music, video and picture playback option is an additional plus to create a solid home entertainment system... i bought my ps3 for games first and then movies, on top of everything the devs choose installing game data for speeding up the loading process... the more you have to wait for an install (hence the increased size of the data install) the less you have to wait almost everytime the game does require data to be loaded... i'd much rather prefer it to a game without any installation and increased optical disc read times... sometimes i feel like people complain just to have complained... :)

Love? no, but at the same time I don't have a problem with installs. You obviously don't like the ps3 but still own one and for some odd reason you feel the need to come into this forum and bash it.

Good times. Why people with small hard drive spaces complain I don't know. It's simple, like a lot of people have already suggested : delete game data from games you either traded in or don't play. Either that or upgrade to a bigger HDD like a 250GB or 500GB. I'm not particularlybothered by the install size.

it seems like a lot of games are coming with a large install. RE5 had a pretty big one, so did fallout 3. 4.5 isn't bad at all IMO.

Oh thanks for the heads up. I now know how much memory to save.

I got 10gb left of my 80 so im good.
Even though the 80gb ps3 can only actually take 74gb.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest. It could be 10 Gb's and I still wouldn't care a bit.

It's because of the PS3 operating system. When your HDD is formatted for the PS3 it uses a little space for the OS... just like a PC does. OT: Installs don't bother me at all. I just do something else until it's done. Most of the time I'll do the install right before I go to bed, and then play the next day. I have about 30GB left on my 80GB so I'm in good shape for this one.

Installs are your friend, they make the game run better with shorter load times. However, Sony should make installs "optional" and I think people have a plausible gripe when they are mandatory. I could personally care less because I upgraded to a 250BG a while ago.

lol I didn't mind the size of the install, it was the fact that after every freaking chapter you had to do another install that annoyed me. If you just had to install the game once I would have been fine with it :P

Oh no, only 250gb left !!!!! I love it when the devs put in big installs. For one its why i bought a big HDD And a second reason is that games work better. I wish all devs would put ontop of the mandatory install, an optional one like HOME. I would love to install some games to like 20 gb each - if it means no loading times!

Because no matter what you say and do you must worship and praise the PS3 even when it has faults...or you're a fanboy! lol..these people crack me up! (*never* point out it's faults, because if you do you are breaking the PS3 fanboy code)
