R&C: Quest For Booty is actually 3.2GB

Better start making room on your hard drive PS3 gamers, Ratchet & Clank: Quest For Booty is actually 3.2GB big and not 2.3GB as previously reported.

We had a bit of a shock when we went to download our review copy earlier. The 3181MB download weighs in at around 30% larger than we had been expecting.

As we reported yesterday, Ratchet & Clank: Quest For Booty hits PSN this Thursday with a Blu-ray release following in September.

no room needed
320 gb hard drive

[chaosatom333]

where did u buy one?

[TOSgamer]

or you can buy a Western Digital Passport, pop it out of the enclosure and put it in the PS3.

[JsonHenry]

Lol. Installs - One step closer to being nothing but a PC yet everyone says PC gaming is dead...

[Chubear]

I've had an 80gig packed with boat load of demos, photos, trailers, themes, music, games: installs and saves (even PS1&2 saves) and I still be over 30gigs.

I don't think I can ever get to a point where I don't have space for what I want. Right now I'm trying to pack in as much stuff as I can and see how much stuff I can load on there to make it hit the 500mb mark.

Once I accomplish that, I'll be go delete the tonne of stuff I don't use or need like year old demos, trailers etc

[lil Titan]

i remember samsung announcing a 500GB 2.5 hard drive but did it ever come out? if so please post link of where i can buy it

[Howler9443]

@JsonHenry

The thing here is that the console is a known quantity. The only thing unknown is the harddrive size and that is known to an extent. With the PS3 its a minimum of 20G.

At least they know what CPU, how much memory, what video chipset, what OS they are developing for with consoles.

PC games have to be targeted at the "sweet spot" unless you are making something like Crysis and its ilk and want to push the limits. ;-P

[CaptainHowdy]

most definitely time to upgrade...can't do it until september though...moeny money money!

[thebudgetgamer]

:)

[Mr_Showtime1]

I think Sony should start informing people through e-mail that they are able to upgrade thier PS3 harddrive, you know to inform the casual market, maybe make an offcail instruction video on thier website or something.

[CViper]

well, it is in the manual. I'm sure even the most casual people know they can delete content that they downloaded last year as well..

[ThatArtGuy]

I want it lined up with my Tools of Destruction on my shelf. (Unless it is considerably more expensive.) If there is a big price discrepancy I'll get it from the store.

[DarkBlade]

It going to be 15 dollar in store too.

[LossTheEarthbreaker]

Is the disc going to release the same time and at the same price?

[Nitrowolf2]

no, the disc will release some time in septemb, the game on psn is out thursday this week

[thebudgetgamer]

i like taking the games i have accumulated over the 20
+ years ive been gaming an duild stuff with it. besides im trying to build the ultimate gaming room cant do that with dlc

[yoghurt]

Thatartguy, its been confirmed as £10, both on the store and blu-ray

[plain rice]

Day one and not a problem for me. 250GB HDD installed and upgrading to a standard 3.5" SATA 500GB or 1TB HDD when I'm done with my custom PS3 case mod.

[Nitrowolf2]

isnt it suppose to be 2.5"?

[agentace]

he said he was modding it, its not hard you can have any hard drive u want realy for the ps3

[Cajun Chicken]

Problem is, once completed, I have to wait a full year until more of the same.
Hmm, maybe Naughty Dog'll bring out Jak4 in the meantime.
Getting it anyway, day one, I just can't wait any longer without a quality platformer/action adventure so far this year.

[agentace]

YAY JAK4

[Cajun Chicken]

LOL
There's no real evidence of it in development...

yet. (just a BIG hunch I have)

[beavis4play]

they've already gotten a patent for the name: "jak and daxter: the lost frontier".

[beoulve]

newegg is going to be so happy. I need a bigger hard disk. Going 320GB.

[stoo31]

there's more languages on the European version...

[kraven]

yeah that is possible

[LossTheEarthbreaker]

A creative and insightful comment and possibly true.

[KingKirchner]

2.3 in US

EU version is 3.2 because of extra languages.

[Adamalicious]

3181 / 1024 = 3.106 not 3.2

Math FTW.

[IzKyD1331]

3.2GB shouldnt be a problem

[Sheddi]

Ive got 250gb internal and 1TB external, bot are western digital.
So ive got no problem with 3.2 gb :)

[Cajun Chicken]

I thought you can't install anything on an external h/d on a PS3.

[Doggstyle]

You are correct,but he is probably putting all the other stuff on his external hdd.Doesn't really matter anyway because 250 GB can still hold a lot of stuff.

[jobboy]

mmmm... 1gb for extra languages?? sounds too heavy. i'm pretty sure the size is 3.2 gb for all the stores and the US release running with all the EU languages supported.

[The Wood]

size is no issue because, like many, i've upgraded

[ScottEFresh]

Can't wait to play this one!

Edit: I see a lot of people talking about size. As long as you do some general cleanup and don't keep all the crap you don't even play on the HDD you should be fine. I have an original 60GB and still have almost 20GB to spare, I really don't see how size could be an issue unless you have a 40GB and lots of downloadable games already .

[Chubear]

Exactly. The only way people with 40gigs dont have space is if they insist on keeping old demos and trailers and leaving game installs for games they don't play on a regular basis any more.

40gig is a heck of a lot if you're mainly gaming on it even with a few photos & music.

As for 20 gig, well you'll have to be strict with your content. 100 game saves won't even take up 1gig of your HDD so you'll have to uninstall game routinly and use your PS3 soly for gaming but I guess that's the whole reason people bought the 20gig in the first place so they shouldn't complain at all

Plus at least you got a HDD and can easily upgrade to an 80 or 120 for less the $50-80 if you feel your gaming needs are changing.

Sony tried to warn us that we'd need large spaced HDDs this gen but alot of people called BS when they listen to MS saying HDD wasn't neccessary for gaming.

[divideby0]

storage is a NON issue on the PS3...even a noob like me...swapped out the HD for under 100 bucks...and I have an external hooked up also..

[littletad]

Not to mention game installs. I'm sure glad I got my 60gb ps3 when I did. But I can't help but wonder about everyone else with 20gb and 40gb versions. Sure you can upgrade, but not everyone has the money and time to do that.

[Chubear]

Well as for time, it takes all of 5 mins to do and as for money, I'd say isn't that the reason they got 20&40gigs in the first place?

[littletad]

Man I must be pretty old if I feel like once I buy a gaming console, that should be pretty much it. Swiping a hardrive is inflation on an already expensive console. I've also never been a pc gamer, so upgrading is completely new to me. If it's easy enough for parent's to swipe, especially if they bought the cheaper models for their kids, then great, no worries then. The core gamer would find a way to upgrade regardless, so it was the casual I was referring to. :)

[RAM MAGNUMS]

I have 320gb hardive bit..es!!!

Yo, to all my droids!
You guys gotta check out desert punk from the video store!
its hilarious & reminds me of some of you guys on the site.
I highly reccomend it.

[Syronicus]

I have 250gb left and have nearly every DL game available on the PSN on my HDD right now. Not to mention the movies, music and other goodies.

[Common Sense]

Poor Ratchet, he's going to be a virgin for a long time unless he succeeds in his quest for booty.

[typikal82]

bring it on, I got a 250 in mine

I think we're all pretty set

[Pain]

That M$ Cried Digital distribution is da Future and yet.....what have they released? compared to this and other PSN offerings?

ala Warhawk/siren/R&C qfb ? Sonys beating them at that too.

poor M$ always talking never doing. mabey cuz they cant lol

[Lumbo]

Will fit nicely on my 320GB HDD

[MarkyUK]

I would have bought this game day 1 if it would have had trophy support. Gutted. Enjoyed Tools of Destruction, but for £10.00 I would like a reason to replay the game. Missed opportunity, if you ask me.

[harrisonxxi]

The only 500gb 2.5 i know of (and i work in a computer store) is by Buffalo and is an external. Ive seen some indications that 500gb internals exist, however i havent heard of one available in the retail channel yet.
