I don't have that much room left, but then again, I'm still not sure if Im gonna get this. Time will tell though, but this news is certainly making me want this game a teeny bit less.
you know, I had some stereotypical ideals on that any racing sports would cause impairment in the technological side of things in the brain and this only just proves my wild theory.
10GB might be enough to knock over a gamer if he/she was a Xbox/Wii player, for a PC gamer I doubt it will, but with people using blue-ray? ha.
this has to be the biggest waste of space if they are going to use one Blue-ray disc for this since Bioware introduced the PC user with an extra DL-DVD which had no use!

The PS3 uses the FAT32 system to format the drive, which has a volume size limit of 32TB and a file size limit of (4GB - 1 byte). http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314463Jiraiya72 said:
You may have been confused with some posts about _returning_ a PS3 and that 250g is the biggest PS3 HD you can get that way, but you can put any standard SATA 3.5" drive up to 2TB in there and it will be fine. I think I read the formatter might stop at 2TB but that could always be fixed by firmware updates. My PS3 has a 320GB Western Digital in it, so, I can state for a FACT that it at least goes over 250GB.
No. But, if you have any movies, you can back them up (yes, one at a time now if needed) to your external HD. For storage only, not viewing (or taking to your buddy). You can also use that external to back up your whole system for transfer to a new, larger HD, which is what I did and recommend.Dexiro said:
You canuse your computers hardrive for your ps3 if you choose. Hell people have 1tb HDDs by just buying the harddrive for $100 and putting it in their ps3.Jiraiya72 said:
Size doesn't really matter since there isn't really a limit to how big of a PS3 hard drive you can have. Well other than how big they make laptop hard drives.
well, at least its optional... I hate mandatory installs =\
I think I'll see how long the loading screens are without installing it and seeing if its particularly bad... if they are, well, I have a 120 GB hard drive, so it might be pushing it a little for a single game, but its not impossible to install.

I thought one of the advantages of console gaming was not having to think about disc space and installs.
As a multiple console owner, I think I'll stick with Forza 3 thanks. Doesn't need an install to run at a decent loading time.
Looks like consoles are gaining a lot of the inconveniences of PC gaming without the perks.

It is only a matter of time before installs are the norm for all consoles. As disks have more space developers will fill it up. They will have two options, long loads or installs, and as consoles are getting bigger HDDs with the options of upgrades (At least for the PS3 with any 2.5 inch drive) I tend to think it will be the latter.TelHybrid said:
Um...I don't know what universe your from but 10 GBs is a pretty damn large amount for one game, a godamned racing game at that. Crysis needed only 2 GBs more than that for a full install on my PC.DazZ. said:
Never said it wasn't big for a game, I was stating from a hardware perspective, seeing as we have the hardware capable of such sizes at cheap prices I don't see why it should be an issue.matrix3509 said:
TF2 is larger than 10GB, as is WoW and a fair few other games, so this is nothing revolutionary, it shouldn't be an issue.
