demos should be big so we can get a good LONG understading of how the game plays

im not sure what the hell is taking up your other 11 gigs, but im positive, certainly positive, you can delete old videos from last E3 and X06, and probably a bunch of trailers you'll never watch again. That'll be a good 4-5 gigs free. And if you got a movie from the on demand service, it stays there after you watch it, so if you did that, and didn't delete it, go do so.

I agree. Whilst the demos might be quite large in size, they never seem to give enough as it is. If the average size started to decrease then the demos might be quite pointless to download since it wouldn't be worth it to download so little content. I personally delete demos after a while so I am not having space issues and I think thats really the only solution, especially if you can't buy the new hard drive.

I agree with you.  I understand the HD aspect of all this, but 1.3 GB for a 15 minute demo still doesn't make sense to me.

Wow, just play through it and move on. How many demos really warrant a second playthrough? Even the good ones.

time in a single run of a demo has barely no affect on size.  most of the space is just due to file to make the game run in the first place and high-res textures to show the HD graphics.  its just a consequence in "entering next gen."

I would recommend saving up for a 120gb hardrive. I have one and it is like a weight has been lifted. So much space! :D

Exactly.  I'm glad that the demos are fairly large, so we can actually get a good representation of what the actual game is like.Â
