GTAIV requires 3340KB HDD storage in PS3 version

As seen from the official boxart of the game itself,a minimum of 3340KB HDD space is required for the game to run in a PS3.

*For the uninformed 3340KB = 3.26MB.

*Also Notice that PS3 version supports 1080p too.Although it's not native.(as confirmed previously by Gamespot hands on).Xbox 360 version also supports 1080p.

Oh, and the packaging only says 1 player, with 2-16 online. Does that mean there is no split-screen?

Kudos on rockstar for not taking the lazy way out and forcing installs upon us. That debunks that fake early review claiming ps3 installs were cumpolsory

LOL i think i have a disagreeing stalker. Been following me all day with his one disagree. Hope you are enjoying yourself whoever you are cus i know i am :D

1.9 - Will it rumble tho???
In that photo its got the SixAxis icon???
Will it rumble??? Theres a new icon for the rumble DS3 pad.
Really hope it rumbles out of the box like!:)

To the 2 people below me!:D Thanks for the info:) It should rumble yeah. Got a DS3 pad a few months ago. Just thought they would have that DS3 rumble icon on the box by now. But the box might be a bit different when it comes out tho? Can't wait for it!:P

""Oh, and the packaging only says 1 player, with 2-16 online. Does that mean there is no split-screen?""

On UK version of GT5:P there is 1 player but in game there is split screen :)

maybe error or there will be no split for PS3 (cgreviews said that there is split) or maybe rockstar don't want to participate in console war and they cut split from PS3 to match x360 version (in cgreview without split)

everything is possible.

Who cares about 3MB

i mean even if i can't download anymore games because the HDD is full, i still have at least 100MB over on my PS3!!
so i couldn't care
in fact, because this is GTA IV, i wouldn't have cared about 10GB install!!

that means no imposed installation like everyone suggested.

I hope there's option to cache though. I dont mind if it writes 3-5 giga on my HDD if that can make loading disappear.

you'd have to say something like GTA4 requires you to actually steal the game AND get home with 4 stars irl in order to get a copy, before anyone is discouraged enough to NOT buy game. This story while delivering some information...fails.

FYI, on the GT5:Prologue box: Minimum 250KB, but it has a 20 minute installation. I think that 3MB is only the save game, an instalation could still be possible for GTA IV

7.1 - It's the same game, bluray or download!!!
When you get the bluray, you get the exact same file you would download otherwise. So you save the download, and you get a bonus (making of). So you're saving on the download time, and if you have a limit on your number of GB from your provider.

Sure, you have to have the Bluray inside, like Warhawk, because you would simply lend your disk to all your friends who would install it for free. But it's still the same install as the downloadable one.

I don't think the UK boxes shows the full install, only how much the game will save. Im pritty sure you will HAVE TO install atleast 5gig for GTA4 on the PS3

they usually put the total amount of free space you need in your hdd
Uncharted 2.56 mb (no installation needed)
HeavenlySword 2100 mb (installation needed)
Burnout:paradise 12,535 kb (update required)
MLB08:The Show 2 gb (installation needed)
Dark Sector 4 mb (update required)
R&C FTOD 510 KB (no installation needed)
Devil May Cry 4 4.9 mb (installation needed)
those are the games i own and they all say all the free space you need for save or install on the box.

Of course the 3mb is the SAVE FILE!

The installation is something different, its probably optional. Shrug, they gave me a hdd and I'm not gonna squander it. Somewhere is a kid with a Wii who won't be able to dl Rock Band DLC!

That is exactly what I thought it was. The save file. It will have to be "saved", hence the need to state a minimum requirement on the box. Unless I'm missing something here...

Skater - 613 days 19 hours ago
9.3 - Nope
On the back of all of my PS3 games is the little box that tells you how much space you need on your PS3 to run the game, not save. Besides, why would it say 3mb is required? No game forces you to save.

All this means that R* was kind enough to allow us the option of whether we want to install the game to our hard drive or not. So basically that only requires 3mb to run, but for added support, better loading or what ever you can install the game to your hard drive if you wish. Just like unreal tournament III gave you the option as well.

You sure you're checking in the right data directory on your PS3? I remember deleting a huge chunk for uncharted when I was done with the game. It installs the first time you start it up.

Uncharted never took up a lot of space. Now Oblivion, that takes up space.
