Mandatory installs, ginarmous patches, PSN games. I am not entirely sure how people will think that 16GB is suffice. Need an 8th of that just to play GT5.. Hmm

Some people survive on 4gb 360s...just sayin'

No mandatory installs, and patches usually range up to 70-80MB MAX, with few exceptions like the battlefield series, not as big a deal, but when games are on BluRay and are much larger than the standard HDDVD games.. You're going to have a bad time. (I had to get up to 1.5-2GB patches when I got my PS3 just to play online). In the end I never got around to MAG because the patches were taking too damn long.

My point was mainly aimed at downloadable games.

Yeah, but then again, what lunacy is it that in order to play a game that you brought for full price retail you need a bigger harddrive to actually enjoy the experience properly? Of course if you are aware of your HD constraints, you won't be purchasing stuff digitally.
