Ummm...go here to NewEgg and order a bigger hard drive. Just slap it in there. You can get an 80 gig pretty cheap--or you could spring for a 200GB. Anyhow, the beauty of PS3 is that they don't make you pay their insane prices for something that says 'Sony' on it. You can upgrade your PS3's hard drive using any brand you want--and the how-to is in your manual.

since when do we need to install gta on any platform other than pc? - i hope you didnt believe the "fake review"

It'll be the best game on the PS3 anyway so it'll be worth the space you're using up.

 

Edit: That's not an attack on the quality of PS3 games, it'll be the best game on 360 too.

20gig is fine, that is if you can install GTA IV, rumours suggest you can to make it run smoother. the disk IV is coming on it only like 8.5gb and im guessing its not even gunna be that, i mean crysis was only like 6gb

Yeah the reason i have a 20 gb is because I bought it for $500 when it came out -.- Im so pissed because a damn 40 is $300

 

SHOOT ME F**************************************CK

 

Edit:

well if u run out of space on the Harddrive, then you can get a External Harddrive and use that

 

Good idea!

Why does it suck?

 

All it is, is 5 minutes of waiting for better performance.

True, true. I've been doing worse on PCs for 20 years.

If games preform better that is a big advantage, but does it not waste a lot of memory on your Hard Drive?

As I said earlier, you can upgrade your hard drive whenever you want, using any brand you want. With up to like 250GB HDs available, space isn't too big a deal.

alright thats cool then, so to hopefully end this more or less pointless thread: Save up and buy a new Hard Drive everyone who does not have enough space or make room.

 

Let this die please.

well, I haven't actually played a ps3, so I don't know how much it would "suck"

but in the case of gta, installing some files to the harddrive would only be a benefit.

since gta will be constantly streaming the city, the files being on the hdd will only make it faster and smoother.

Maybe. Uncharted streamed the entire game from the BluRay disc, and there were never any performance issues. However, GTA4 is much larger, but I think the required HDD space we've seen in photos may actually be only for save games...in other words, it may not let you save to flash media from within the game.

Am I the only person in the world who has never heard of such a thing as installing games on to a PS3 hard drive for better performance?

 

I have never had to do this, and I have never read anywhere that you have to/can do on any game, least of all GTA IV.

 

Does any one have any actual proof of this?

What photos are these? And on the photos, what size in KB, MB or GB does it state is required? confused.gif
