Not bad, not bad at all. 600mb is nothing compared to GTA4 3GB or so.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5099d ago

Small size in my point of view.

But is good to install. Less loading times, less time reading disc etc.

Final_Rpg5099d ago

I love my 500 gb internal hdd, news like this doesn't even faze me anymore.

Croaker5099d ago

Indeed. I've got a 300gb in my own PS3. No sweat.

NCAzrael5099d ago

Yeah, it's so nice of Sony to make it extremely painless to upgrade the hard drive. I was more than a little pissed when I first discovered that I'd have to pay an outrageous amount for a 120GB hard drive for my 360 when I could get a 500GB HDD for the same amount for my PS3. Granted, I believe there is a way to modify the casing that the 360 HDDs come in so you can add your own, but I'm not sure they still work after the update that disabled non-licensed media. And even if they do, it's a pain to modify from what I hear.

jessupj5099d ago

Not 5 minutes ago I just installed a new 500gb hdd for my ps3. I'm loving it.

Neo6045099d ago

I think 320gb is plenty. It's always good to delete junk.

SWORDF1SH5099d ago

If not 5 minutes ago then when did you install it. 10 minutes? yesterday? last week? I Need To Know!

TELL ME GOD DAMN IT!

j/k :)

Shane Kim5099d ago (Edited 5099d ago )

I still have that 60 GB of space and I'm still good.

Kerrby5098d ago

I have 40GB and I'm about to top myself.

RageAgainstTheMShine5098d ago (Edited 5098d ago )

very nice

Finally Rockstar love for the PS3!

Blood is thicker than water, I guess.

Legosz5098d ago

Can you get those in a store or something? I am fine with my 120GB but it is always nice to upgrade, I could put videos or music on it aswell and not just games.

nveenio5098d ago

@Legosz

Do you mean get the hard drives in a store? If so, then the answer is Yes. All it needs is a 2.5" hard drive. You can get those practically anywhere.

On another note, I think it's great that you can upgrade your PS3 hard drive, but I always fill mine up before I think about upgrading. Then, I don't have anywhere to store the backup (all my external HDD drives on my comp are formatted to the wrong file system).

duplissi5098d ago

with my 500 i have almost 300 gbs left i have a hard time filling it..

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5098d ago (Edited 5098d ago )

Exclusive Content for PS3 + Very small space for HDD.

That's all you need I think.

Yeah, mandatory instals are a non-issue. Funny how the headline tries to make it a big deal.

P.S Who cares what version people are getting, stop the fanboy cr*p (aimed at people below).

HolyOrangeCows5099d ago

Then with the free extra content, it's no contest. Ps3 version it is.

zoks3105099d ago

Cry all you want, but we PS3 owners dont worry about space because we have plenty of space, and if we run out of local space the PS3 allows us to use other and even cheaper portable memory storage devices that is all ready on the market. We can even upgrade our non propitiatory HDD.

DORMIN5099d ago

"PS3 gamers running low on hard drive space.."
Upgraded my HDD to 320GB a while back for the price of $50.

600MB is nothing.

ludabenza5099d ago

Yep it's extremely modest considering the type of game it is. I also wonder how much space it takes on the PS3.

agentace5099d ago

lol is that a joke, my fallout3 saves take more space than that(about 10-15mb each got like 100+ saves)
I think i best upgrade my 500gb hdd 600mb is alot..............

raztad5099d ago

"PS3 gamers running low on hard drive space may want to do some cleaning up"

When I read that I though, oh shaiit game is gonna have a 5+G install.

600M? really? my demos are twice o triple that size.

Pika-pie5099d ago

Im thinking about swapping out my old 60gb HDD but im concerned that my saves wont carry over, or I cannot gain any new trophies working from my previous saves?

Can anyone confirm?

This worries me as I still have work to do in FFXIII and I dont want to loose progress on a game Ive sank 90+hours into.

CrazedFiend5099d ago

Your saves and everything WILL carry over, because you'll do a full system backup before you swap out. Make sure however that you have a separate drive with enough free space on it to do your backup before you begin.

BigPappaPump5098d ago

2 games that can't be copied and carried over so far are killzone 2 and dante's inferno. if you own them, platinum those two first before you swap drives. not copying certain files suck.

Pika-pie5098d ago (Edited 5098d ago )

Thanks for that, il gonna pick up a nice 400GB in the week plus a smaller external for back ups.

I do own KZ2 but not too fussed about that save not getting carried over. More worried out my big RPG games.

When i scroll down my saves at high speed it takes 10-15seconds to reach the end of the list.. Scary when you consider the speed!!!

duplissi5098d ago

big papa is completely WRONG
sigh....

i have killzone and i upgraded to a 500 in december and somehow those saves managed to make their way onto my new drive....

oh and bigpappa there is a built in backup and restore utility, and if you use that you will not loose any saves as long as you restore to the same playstation, but if you just stick a flash drive in and try to copy those saves that way... well thats a no go.

DaTruth5098d ago

Does anyone know if the attachment fans are good enough to sustain the system because it overheats in 10 seconds? My fan isn't operating and I just need enough time to transfer my data from one PS3 to the next, but I don't want to buy one if it won't work!

PM me please!

nveenio5098d ago

If it's not under warranty, then open it up. I'm not sure what the inside looks like, but if the fan is just on the housing, then opening the case and putting a box fan there should do the trick. If the fan is on a chip, though, that won't work.

duplissi5098d ago

uh yeah its a hell of alot more complicated then that....

antt35098d ago

600mb? Pffft. That's nothing. I've downloaded demos bigger than that.

Speaking of, if you're looking to clear up some space, deleting demos is a great way to do it. If you're like me, and you let them build up, it adds up to a good 5-10 GB by time you delete them all. Insane.

wicko5098d ago

Honestly I always choose the optional installs if they are available. Valkyria Chronicles, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Resonance of Fate all have optional. Would be nice if all games had optional installs because then we'd hear less whining :)

But yeah just like a lot of other people, I have upgraded my harddrive. Swapped out the 160GB i had for a 320. The 160 makes for a nice small external drive.

Nicholas Cage5099d ago (Edited 5099d ago )

also i would like to add im glad that the game is 720p, sadly i have been hearing rumors it was sub-hd on the ps3, well i guess we can all stop speculating, proof is in the pudding. go to the website. red dead ftmfw!

CernaML5099d ago

Just because it says 720p on the back of the box doesn't mean it renders at a native resolution of 720p. Still hoping San Diego did a better job than Rockstar North though.

nveenio5098d ago

There's no reason it shouldn't run at 720p on PS3. GTA4 came out a (relatively) long time ago, and if they can't beef up the PS3 version of that engine by now, then they're just being lazy.

Acquiesc35099d ago

A little over half a gig isn't too bad at all.

15 PS3 Games That Would Absolutely Shine as PS5 Remakes

kenpachi19d ago

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming18d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long18d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming18d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10118d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor18d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6918d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming18d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno18d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming18d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast32d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg32d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

Still tryna milk a dried up cow

OtterX48d ago

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai48d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos48d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8948d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg32d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
