How much space will games copied to hard drive take up?

This thread was reporting install sizes of between 5.9GB (Fallout 3) and 6.7GB (Gears of War 2)

For people with a 20GB harddrive it looks like we will only be able to have one game installed at once. Even empty it has only around 13.2GB of space. Then take the size of the NXE update (128mb), along with your gamertag, save games, any maps packs, DLC, arcade games etc. and you end up with enough space for 1 and a bit installs.

COD WaW (6.5GB) + Gears of War 2 (6.7GB) + NXE Update (128mb) will not fit on an empty 20GB harddrive :(

Has anyone installed Mass Effect yet and tried it out? I really want to know if that has improved with the update, mainly in load times and textures popping inAvenger1324

yeah.. i am gonna invest in a 120 gig hd. the only thing i am not liking is the price. holy crap..$170 is alot. If would be really cool if their was a price drop or even microsoft releases a 60 gig hd. that would be nice. and maybe be worth a hundred bucks or somethingianp_91
