If you want to play this game online in the future, better upgrade... (Though I think most people here already have more storage - just shows how much of a weird product the 12gb slim model is).

How to Upgrade your PlayStation®3 12GB System Storage for Grand Theft Auto V

Rockstar Games

Well, the game is also completely unplayable on the 4Gb Xbox 360. Or so I've been told.

Always cringe when i sell one of those models... The 500 gig doesnt even cost that much more

laptop hard drives are so cheap now too

True. So this is hardly surprising.

Of course it doesn't work there but it never worked at all there.

Yes. Rockstar didn't even find it necessary to address them as it was hopeless from the get go. It's a good thing you can find a cheap third party hd for your ps3 if you're in this situation. Can't say the same about the 360 variant, but that's more Microsoft's fault, not the owners. 

Nope, I'm fine. Unless you mean unplayable without another hard drive. In that case you can't even install the game.

Why would anyone who's into games like that buy a 12GB model? In fact what sort of person buys a console with less storage space than most smartphones?
