I have 4 PS3's... 3 x 40 Gb and 1 x 80 Gb... This is going to get annoying to install stuff all the time... Everytime I wanna play a game on a different PS3 I will have to install... If I wanted PC gaming I would have bought a PC.

@ Chirzum

Your post is riddled with phail.

First, if someone bought the forty gig, then how could they have enough money to buy seven or eight games? If that was the case, why not buy two less games, and get the eighty gig?

Second. Who plays a different game, every day of the week? And who plays six or seven games at a time? I'd call myself a "hardcore" gamer, and I only play one, or maybe two games at a time.

I do that ALL THE TIME on the PC. I'll have my newer games that I play all the time while I uninstall the older games that I want to free up space for. Months later, I'll be like "I want to play that game again" so do you know what I do?

....I reinstall it and then play it.

I think it would be a problem if EVERY game did it. Even still, I don't play a whole bunch games at a time. When I get a new game or rent a game, I usually commit my time to beating it. Once I play it enough and tire of it, I change it out for a different game and then go back to the older games when I feel an urge to play them again.

Am I reading that right that you have an external HDD that you're putting demo's on? I didn't think you can do that because I'm sure they wouldn't allow it for piracy reasons. 

I also said that I uninstal my old games to make space which means that I wouldn't be able to play it again until I reinstalled it, same with your argument that you can't play DMC4 (for example) at a later time if you uninstalled it and thus, you'd have to reinstall it.

Again, I think it would be a problem if all games did it. However, I'm not really seeing this as a real big problem right now unless you had somebody over and you had to reinstall the game since you haven't played it in a while. Still, I do that a lot on the PC when I want to show somebody (for example) F.E.A.R or another game that I haven't played in a while (and had thus, uninstalled)

which is what is pissing me off.
I changed to a console player for the simplicity of console gaming.
Now they give me a smaller harddrive with bigger game installations.
you know how many games I can fit in a 180GB HDD? I bought the PC with the expectations of installations.
the ps3? no.

Still 5gb's is smaller than newer PC games. Like I said on the first page, Gears of War and Crysis both require 12gigs of space and Call of Duty 4 needs 8gigs. Again, perhaps I'm too used to it that the 'ease of consoles' doesn't mean anything to me. Perhaps I just take news and changes in a more optomistic way rather than proclaim glood and doom at everything.

Also In my case with my PC, throw in video editing where I use my hard drives to backup my source footage for when I transfer it to my external hard drive and take it campus to edit it. That easily eats up (currently) 75gigs of my hard drive. That along with everything else I have on my PC from schoolwork, music, and videos and all of that space the large PC hard drive starts to become sort of a moot point.

I do the former.  I've only gotten to 4 games at a single time on the latter.

No one has touched on the largest unanswered question in this thread: why does NeoRatt have *FOUR* PS3s?
