This was the closest I could find. Almost like it was scrubbed from history! There was also another incident where the PSN was down for like a month. I thought THAT was the "ApocalyPS3" but I guess I was mistaken.

Also there are certain games that you buy in store but only get part of the content. There's a Tony Hawk game that's only a few GB on the disc but you have to download the rest. Games like Resident Evil Revelations 1&2, Overwatch, etc on the Switch gives you half the game on the card and you have to download the other. There are even games you buy physically and only get a download code in the box.

I don't recall that one, just the longer outage.

I think having to DL significant portions is rare. I went into the Spyro collection knowing that which is why I bought it used. Don't recall much else although I have lots of games left to play. The limited release stuff tends to hold off until a game has been patched so they can ensure you get the whole game on the disc. All games will start without patches, they just won't connect online which is understandable.

It is rare...but it's about to get a lot more common. I read a story saying that ninth gen games are going to be so big that you're going to have to download a significant portion no matter what. The discs just can't hold them all. It might be speculation but I can definitely see it being true.
