BioShock for the PlayStation 3 has 5GB mandatory install |

What with all the recent games requiring a mandatory install, this one doesn't come as a surprise at all. The PlayStation 3 version of BioShock will have a mandatory install of close to 5 GB, so be sure you have some space on your drive when it comes out.
The installation time takes about 10 minutes to finish, so you might want to plan out what you want to do during that time as well. Maybe go through the ethical dilemma of whether to kill the Little Sisters or not. Get the whole emotional trauma over with. You'll even have appropriate music playing in the background, as the install time comes with some Rapture-related ads and piano music.
BioShock for the PlayStation 3 will come out on October 21 in the US, and October 24 for everywhere else.

5GB is nothing on my PS3's 500GB internal HDD. Bring it.

Those with a 60GB or 120GB will be able to install a bit more without having to sacrifice what they have already downloaded.
Every time they delete that content, they will have to go through the same thing again.
One thing they may point out is that it's optional, but considering how load the DVD drive is, who wouldn't want to take advantage of that feature?
At least we can get much bigger HDD's than them, like my new 500GB baby. It also cost me £20 more than the 360's 120GB HDD!! I'm hoping that a 1TB (or bigger) will be out by this time next year.

"how many do you think they can install at once?"
That's not limiting the PRASE for the feature. Hell, I want it too on the PS3!
"Every time they delete that content, they will have to go through the same thing again."
Again, that's not the point. They still LOVE this feature. That's the point.

So yeah, bring it. Even if you run low on space, just get a new HDD! They give you the option to backup the data to another device, then insert the new HDD and restore everything.

I'm waiting for SSD to come down in price. Yes people, I read the BS article about how it doesn't help AT ALL. Except those guys are idiots and they used a piss poor SSD.
The drop in heat alone will be worth it!
