Ok so the other day i got Saints Row 2 and i put it in my PS3 for the 1st time and it was installing the Game Data as usual....but when it was finished my memory was 20gb

When i started it was 24gb

How could it take up a whole 4gbs :(

Are all PS3 Game data saves this big???

As a rule, most of them wont be that big, but it will happen on some of these open world style ones I've noticed. GTA IV took up a similar amount on my hard drive... remember wondering what'd happened, then found out my brother had been playing GTA. :\

Most of the game saves I have are somewhere between 200 mb - 1 gb generally.

It most likely says on the game case or in the manual what the Game Date requirement is. GTA IV and Assassin's Creed both have huge install sizes, as well.

Game Data can be deleted so when you're done with SR2 just junk the game data and free up that space.

Hum no not all PS3 Games are so big but Oblibion is 4400MB and when you install the expansion (Shivering Isles ) it is 5400MB. So... yes it is pretty big.

Yep. Game data is really that big with a lot of games nowadays. Get used to deleting unused data I'd say.
