Well 77GB is reserved on the HDD (423GB available to users) but I'm not tech savy enough to know what it all means.Again, we should hopefully get answers at GDC.

It is not 77GB reserved...

The HDD manufacturers uses the 1000 notation to calc the size of HDD and not 1024 (the right)... so a 500GB HDD have 500,000,000,000 bytes and not 536,870,912,000 bytes.

If you convert to standard notation (1024) you have: 465.66 gigabytes

So 423GB available to users means 42GB reserved.
