2 gigabit, 500 megabyte. Smaller than your ordinary CD, however with better loading time. Consequently, I still say "Cool".

1 byte = 8 bit, so that's 256 Megabyte, not 500

 

shouldn't it be 250 megabytes then?

 1 Gigabit = 1024 Megabit

1 Megabit = 1024 Kilobit

1 Kilobit = 1024 bit

This is because each bit is a binary (0 or 1) and all data in computer is stored in 2^n

 

the 1 Megabyte = 1000 Kilobyte thing is because... I don't remember, it was either someone being lazy or companies want to make their product look bigger than it actually is.
