You know theres still going to be some angry people on launch night who come home and find out their 4GB Xbox 360 cant run the game, unless they add a hard drive or USB stick

Thanks man. I should have enough space. If not, then I'm gonna delete all my COD profiles (i play it on pc anyways) just to make space for this game

I got a new 250 GB hard drive just for Grand Theft Auto V

[AllenKS]

Bought that 500GB limited edition PS3 with the free year of PS+ service.

 

I'm straight.

[Brr_]

gonna buy it off PSN anyways.

[alexzub]

have UK Digital preorder and UK CE Preorder (physical) delivery will take a week so that's why i got the digital one too:)

and predownload/install is a win in my book

 

Got a fat old ps3 model which had 80gb HDD which i swapped for a 500gb one like few months ago.. hope my 5yo bessy won't fry when i give her the runs on 17th with GTA

Nice of you to remind people.

[SHOTIMITSU]

I've got enough space, but the only thing that worries me is that the PS3 has a very slow download speed so when I finally put my copy in, I still have to wait until the installations complete. The wait will be more painful than finding out official release date months prior.

if you put in from disc the install shouldn't take long. if you download the whole thing might take longer

[DarkFalcon95]

I still have about 40 gigs of space on my 120GB hard drive for my Xbox. I had about 26 gigs left but I deleted some installed games to make more room because I felt like it.

[shamalpilot]

I still got 22gb left on my 500gb xbox plus I have a 500gb external hd so I'm good

[arrowface10]

Even though I have like 115 GB of space on my Xbox 360 Elite Slim, which comes with a total of 250GB for me, I deleted all my BF3 stuff since I got BF3 for PC now.

 

Now I have 140 or so GB's open, lol.

 

Also This Xbox that I own looks sexy.

That's what I'm thinking. I have to drive an hour from home to get it at a midnight release, then I have to drive all the way back, and then wait like 20 minutes for it to install. I'm probably just gonna have a heart attack.

[Red Hat]

I have a 320 GB hard disk in my PS3 and i have about 250 GB free...i'm good

Yeah well not everybody sits on their computer all day looking for every single bit of information they can find...

You on NAT 3 or NAT 2 type connection?

 

EDIT: Oh wait, you are talking about installing from the discs. That's not a download and it shouldn't take as long as a PSN download would take which is what I thought you meant.

Picking up a 60gb HDD later this week. Nice reminder.

[Romel3]

does this also apply to people who will be digitally downloading it?

[Glenni91]

Boy am I glad i switched my POS 20 GB hard drive, with a 370 GB one. XD

[Assassin101]

Got 84 gb left on my fat ass ps3. I'll have more once I delete Call of Poop: Black Balls 2 from the memory card.

No if you download it, it will be 16gb because it will multiply.

[The-end]

Got a 250gb HDD for my PS3. Cost me £20 + £10 for the offical caddy thing.

Ya see, the thing is it says so right on the back of the box how much space is requried.

The PSN Version requires 36 gigs because of the way it works. The game is still gonna be 18 gigs, and you'll get the extra 18 gigs being taken up back when you install the game.

That's not how digital downloads work. There is no extra install. And no it doesn't double, and will never double.
