A moderate install of a couple of gigabytes on the occasional game is not that big of a problem, but I am somewhat worried about what will happen over the next couple of years if Sony releases a system with a larger hard drive and developers try to push the PS3 harder.


 its not just Sony's problem. Mircosoft's also allowing this with their "HDD required" games. It's even worse for the 360 owners who only bought the core or arcade models as they have to go out and buy an HDD. At least PS3 and 360 Premuim/Elite owners have HDDs.

Burnout Paradise on the 360 requires an HDD for Online play. Same with Crackdown.

In those cases the HD is being used to cache game data, which is a far ways off from install. I believe caching is used by most PS3 games, and having an optional install is fine. But requiring an install is fucking stupid - especially when its a console and takes 20min to install.

Oh, and prologue was never released in the US, as you asserted earlier.

Strange but you appear to be correct.

GT4 Prologue:  Japan (12/04/03) and EU (05/18/04).  No US release listed.

Well I live in the US, I always have and I have been a hardcore gamer since I've been able to pick up a controller. I would have known if a GT Prologue title had been released in the US before.

Not to mention that the concept series, BMW, Prius, ect editions have never been to the states either. Basically the US misses out every time.

 I know, you could just go to free porn sites. Easier, less hard drive space used, and think about the PS3 browser seems to stretch images quite nicely so no image will be negatively effected.

 Truly watcha youtube video, you will be shocked at the quality for a streched video that already had piss poor quality.
