THANKS bro, it worked perfectly!

Downloading it right now.

The growing sizes of games is the deciding factor. Games are getting bigger, and spaces like 500GB is just not going to cut it anymore. Imagine getting the complete package of this game with a 500 GB. It'd already take more than a 1/5th of your console. You'd only be able to hold a couple of games before you run out of space and need to buy extra.

Sure, you can keep uninstalling and reinstalling games, but who wants to do that? It'd just be easier to have a bigger sized console so reinstalling is not necessary. Seeing as you need an external hard drive, it clearly isn't enough. Even Sony and MS are recognizing this as they are beginning to release 1TB models of their consoles, and from the looks of it, they're not all that expensive. 500 GB was fin during gen 7 and was fine at the start of gen 8, but with these big games being 30 to 40 GBs, 500GB is just not cutting it anymore.

"500 GB was fin during gen 7"? You know that the PS3 started with 20 - 80 GB and the Xbox 360 started with 0 - 20 GB instead of 500 GB, don't you?

So how much HDD space would you have put in the PS4 or XBO at launch in 2013 if you had to decide for Sony and Microsoft? How much flash memory would you have put in the Wii U at launch in 2012? How much of the additional costs would you have added to the price? How much of the additional costs would you have reduced from your profits?

For which price would you have offered the PS4 with your "one size fits all" capacity? For which price would you have offered the Xbox One Kinect with your "one size fits all" capacity? For which price would you have offered the WiiU with your "one size fits all" capacity?

They should have put it on a blu-ray disc. Blu-ray is perfectly capable for branching video. I have plenty movies with different director's cut and final cut etc on the disc, it doesn't store the whole thing 4 times like this 75gb for 4 x 22 minute episodes seems to suggest.

Dunno what codec they used for this but it seems very lazy. h.265 could store over 9 hours of blu-ray quality video in 75GB. 75GB for 9 hours comes to 19 mbps, a bit higher than 4K Netflix with HDR. Comparable to avg 28 mbps h.264 + 5 mbps for DTS HD MA.

Bandwidth is cheap I guess, for some. At least if you only do one play through with streaming it shouldn't take too much of a data cap.

I didn't know that actually. I never owned a 360, and got a PS3 much later with a 500 GB space. That's quite funny and interesting it started that way.

I think the gradual growth in sizes of the of space in these consoles reflect the growth in sizes of games and eventual digital only route. There likely was no simple answer as for the best amount of space to put into these consoles just because companies didn't know how things would turn out with games and sizes, and will change things accordingly. This is probably why the PS4 and XBO started with 500 GB because that seemed enough; however, that is starting to change, which is shown with these new 1tb models. It's sort of a mix of the changes in games and the routes companies want to take with their consoles.

The only one who really messed up was Nintendo. The 16/32 GB models were really stupid moves, haha.

How's that? Games load fine from disc on WiiU. It's not built for digital downloads, but you can attach USB HDD just as easily as with the XBox One.

I have a few digital games and patches and saves for 24 other games on it and still 8 GB free. You don't need that much without ridiculous sized patches and full installs.

Considering you can get most games physical, you're right about that, and even then, Nintendo games are rather small. I was doing just fine with that space. That is until they decided to make Fatal Frame 5 digital only. I had to buy extra space for that. It was a really upsetting and stupid move from them, at least personally.

Ah, I hope Nintendo isn't going all digital now :( NX stands for nix the drive, 1tb hdd instead!

Back on topic, why are people downloading the 75GB? If you can download that absurd amount you can certainly just as well stream it when needed? No need to have all the different variations taking up space? They say there are 40 variations, which is about 1.9 GB per episode at around 11.6 mbps for 22 minutes. As long as you're connection is 15mbps of greater there shouldn't be an issue.

Yet if you have a 5 mbps connection you're looking at a 34 hour download! Should have simply put it on a blu-ray disc using seamless branching.

Even streaming, I just don't think I have the data allowance for that.
I mean, if the UWP format wasn't already enough to turn my off the title...

o_O !!!???
