to be fair, it doesnt look like it will happen to many games released around the same time. some games just require a speed boost because of the really slow blu-ray drive. chances are that if you really need the space, it will always be there. i have owned alot of games that need installs for ps3 (heavenly sword r6:vegas, warhawk, dmc4, virtua fighter 5, and more...that i cant remember) but when i finished with the games that i dont play anymore, i simply deleted the game data. i know it's inconvenient, but it's hardly an issue to spell doom for the hdd of a ps3.
