| DeadNotSleeping said: PS3 games typically have a mandatory install that eats up precious hard drive space faster than you might think. XBox 360 games do not. For gamers with a large collection of games, this a real important detail. |
I have to disagree, Not all of the games require it and you typically have BIGGER hard drive than MS is providing you with. A premium (20GB HD) on 360 has only 13 GB available, 7 GB is used for caching so arcade buyers beware of slowdowns and with demos clocking in at 1 Gb that space is eaten up very fast.
With the NXE most people will opt for full install which will take approx 7-9 Mb. How many games can you install after that let me do the math
20-7-7(for ONE game)- 5 demos @ 1 Gb each = 1 GB left
With PS3 on a 40 GB, you have MGS4 taking 2-3GB ( I may be mistaken) however, the most I have heard installs take is 4 GB. that is
40-4 GB(for one game) - 5 demos @ 1 Gb each = 31 Gb
Even people with the 20 GB sku which is not available for sale anymore will have the following
20-4 GB(for one game) - 5 demos @ 1 Gb each = 11 Gb
