Not started playing it yet but why does it say 1GB minimum on the back of the box if there is no mandatory installation?

there isn't an automatic installation? Well, shit I need to find out how to install it then. I just thought it did it automatically at some point, or perhaps while playing like Fallout 3 does.

I have a launch 40 gig launch system and I beat the game once and not happend to mine

I think it does install a few resourses but not the full game. It's 25 gigs, that would be a hell of an install.

Well yeah, obviously. I don't expect it to install the whole game. So it does automatically install though?

hmm? after killing some guardians+soldiers in a circular room?

this happen to me but the console didn't overheat.

looks like it's a software thing.

I think it reserves cache space on HDD to aid in streaming in the background to HDD then to game in addition to streaming directly from BR.  The engine in Uncharted had no real install, just some on the go use of HDD that was transparent from your point of view.  So far as I know Uncharted 2 is the same.

I'll have a peak next time I boot it up - which will hopefully be in a couple of hours!

Interesting that's all i have to say about this.

Yeah, must be a software problem. Mine locked up in the exact same place just now. I got to chapter 25, got in a fight in a big round room and started thinking "hey, I think this is the room they were talking about. I wonder if it will lock up." and sure enough I won the fight, went to the next hallway and it froze. I expect a patch hopefully soon. I guess it's not consistently every time, I mean lots of people have beat the game. Hopefully the last checkpoint wasn't too far behind where I was. I'll try again later. But first I will go watch "The Man From Earth", heard it was a good movie.

Yes Thats The Room
