so does most of the ps3 games have some kind of mandatory install? i'm not talking only about those 2-6gb ones but also those 100-600mb.my friends who have ps3 40gb and 80gb versions have already full or more than 2/3 of hdd space taken by installs.

20 out 35 games I bought had a mandatory install, but the range is very broad. Some are well under 100MB while others are well over 1GB. GT5P is the largest particularly if you download GT TV videos because it is essentially nothing more than an installer disk for a PSN game. MGS4 is the other title with the largest install. 

It's all on the developer really. 

The 40GB drive really isn't adequate for a gamer who buys games on a monthly basis and wants to keep them all installed. The 20GB drives were completely inadequate for all but the most basic of uses. 

But it looks like 120GB drives will become the new base line standard this fall.
