It's a 3.8GB install.....but is it Mandatory? I install any game I play for improved performance. It's usually anywhere from 1.5 GB (ie: Dance Central) to 7+ GB (Gears 3) but it has always been optional. Even when games ship on multiple discs, I've never had a problem playing them off the DVD if I didn't feel like installing.
I doubt that a game as big as Skyrim will only be 3.8GB so part of me thinks that, if you install the whole game, it will be considerably more. And if it's a mandatory install, people that own 20GB, 4GB, or the old Arcade 360's are not going to be pleased.
--upon closer inspection, it appears the whole game is just 3.8GB. That is sorcery, plain and simple. No big budget game is that small!
