Kafonix Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 There are many german magazines reporting that 12 GB-PS3s will not get any updates anymore because of memory limitations. There you have some links: http://www.insidegames.ch/gta-5-online-modus-nach-update-1-16-mit-12-gb-ps3-nicht-mehr-spielbar/ http://www.playm.de/2014/08/gta-5-online-ps3-176453/ http://www.play3.de/2014/08/27/gta-5-online-auf-12-gigabyte-ps3-konsolen-bald-nicht-mehr-spielbar/ Is this true?

Wheatley Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm pretty sure it's the lack of space not the amount of RAM onboard. Each PS3 has the same hardware in it. However, each DLC has been less than 100MB and each update has not exceeded 500MB. Also, people if you have a 12GB hard-drive, get rid of it and spend a little more on a bigger hard-drive. You won't regret it. iainspad, SCOOBASTEEB, Reconified and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider-Vice Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 "additional storage to accommodate GTAV Title Updates after 1.16" Interesting. We'll see what happens but this seems to indicate patches will get MUCH bigger, because so far they've been 100/200MB. iainspad 1 let your hopes and dreams turn into burning fire!

Something is better than nothing. Sometimes it just pays to wait a little longer and buy something practical. We all are aware of how big games are these days, and that 12 GB is nothing, and that waiting a little longer to save up for one with bigger HDD would be better in the long run, as replacing the HDD later on with a bigger one will only cost more.

Trevorphilipjfry Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Cant you use a USB stick with your ps3 for storage like you can with xbox 360, also you may be able to pick up a pre owned hard drive, like a 60GB pretty cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gdog Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 In this day and age, why buy a 12gb console? it's a bit cheaper. if you buy the 12GB model and your own HD it can still be cheaper than buying the 500GB ps3. at least it was for me. saved about £30. even cheaper if you already have a HDD lying about your house. but don't know how anyone can use just 12GB to play games. even worse was the 4GB 360...what the f*ck?

Either way, I guess some think game data is saved on the actual disc and not the HDD. Most people look at the hardware in a console or PC and think magic.

DrDetroit Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I bought the 12GB PS3 just for GTAV and RDR and the console was like $150 from what I remember, maybe a bit less...I'm a PC gamer but had to have those two titles. Then went to the PC side of Microcenter and picked up a fast 750gig laptop HDD for $50, installed it within 5-minutes or less and boom...done. Seemed like the 500GB PS3s were $250-$300, just for the extra storage. Forget that...who's the dummy that paid extra $100-$150 for $30 worth of storage.

Huh, I didn't actually know that the PS3 versions need to be installed from the disc since I got the digital version, sounds reasonable I guess.

esmittystud101 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Atleast the PS3 had 12 GB option. Back in the day so many of my friends caved and bought that cheap 4 GB Xbox 360 which was a total waist if you wanted anything other than game saves on the HDD. I'm not saying 12 GB was a huge upgrade or anything, but 4 GB, for real? I thought it was a slap in the face kind of purchase myself. Even then, 4 GB didn't get you very far. I guess I'm just spoiled now with an X1 with 4 TB and a PS4 with 2 TB of storage. œaœa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzknuckles Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just make sure that if you decide to upgrade to a big-boy sized HDD for the PS3, buy an external drive and take the case off it. It will almost certainly be cheaper than the same drive without a shell. I know, it sounds crazy, but it's generally cheaper to buy an external drive. MADNESS. Signatures are dumb anyway.

Good Day, DrDetroit When they had the package deal it was actually cheaper to get the 500 than upgrade. I paid $250 for the 500 with GTA V, which was $60 at the time.
