Its been said before, but past games have been a around 20gb or more. This year could be different, but I'd assume it will be large. PS3 games on PSN have been huge lately (Uncharted, Ni No Kuni, etc).

Know though that you will need double that amount on your PS3.

20gb space to download installer.
20gb of space to put installed data in.

You'll end up with 20gb after install, but to install you'll need double the download size space.

I have a 40GB PS3. Does this mean I won't be able to download the game?

If I download the game on the West Coast at 9:05pm (12:05am-EST) what is a rough estimate of the download time? 2 or 3 hours?

Thanks.

Is it confirmed to release at 9pm on the west coast? We may have to wait until Midnight our time as well.

Anyway, it'll really depend on your internet. I'd say on an average internet connection you can expect about 2-3 hours, yes.

If its split into two parts you might. Ni No Kuni was over 20gb, but it was split into two parts, one was like 16gb and the other 5gb or something.

If it was split you should have no problems. If its 20gb I think you will since the usable space on the HDD is not 40gb, check your free space to see exactly how much space you have.

edit: Wait, nvm people who had a 40gb HDD could not install Ni No Kuni as the 16gb file requires 32gb of space.

I'd wait though. Maybe it'll be 10gb and 10gb or something. I think you would be able to do that.

The thing is that people complained that Ni No Kuni showed as 6gb on the store, but had two files and the 16gb was not shown on the store page, just the 6gb. So people with 40gb HDDs bought it and couldn't install it. I wonder if they got refunds.

the digital download is so much better than the disc, i remember my previous show skipped a lot and made mad noises

This!!!

Had the same problem, also had 1-2 sec freezes, clearly because of the BluRay drive, I could hear the noise during the freezes.

I have been looking everywhere for file size and can't find it.. But I did find something that makes me think the file size will be huge.. The audio in postseason mode alone is 6gb.

Also I feel bad for ps vita ppl they won't get online league or diamond dynasty mode.

I'm very strongly considering cancelling my Amazon pre-order and getting the digital download. The UPS guy always shows up before lunchtime for me, but if I start downloading at midnight and then go to bed, I can wake up and be playing the show. I'm just a little worried that something is going to go wrong, like patches won't work right for the digital version or something... someone who has downloaded full games before put my mind at ease that everything will work the way it should with the digital copy.

Everything will work the way it should with the digital copy. That is unless you don't have the HDD space for it, plan to have at least 40gb open for the download and install. As long as you got that you'll have no problems.

I wish we could know how big the file is. That is the only thing that is making me think about getting the disc version. Funny thing is though if you look at all the other games on the day digital list it shows how large they are. The show is the only one that doesn't. It can't be cause of the theme thing cause I know at least the new bioshock gives a theme too if you pre order. I just don't want to see this thing be 20gb and it take me all day and some to download it.

It will be more than that i suspect.

There is 6gb of playoff audio alone and 10gb of audio in total alone, so thats '/2 your 20gb without even starting on anything else.

Some of the other day 1 digital games also do not have sizes listed. Bioshock Infinite is listed as 11.3gb because I think that is only for Bioshock which you get with the preorder.

Hell even Ni No Kuni is lying to everyone. Listing it as 15.9gb. That is only one of the required files you need to download, the other is like 6gb. Sony needs to get its act together if they expect more people to go digital, pay the same as retail and save manufacturing costs of discs in the process.

If MLB 13 is put up at under 20gb I'd suspect it might be the sme situation as Ni No Kuni with it being split into multiple files. Just be aware that the store is not accurate all the time.

I have abut 150gb of free space... I think I'm gonna go ahead and cancel my amazon order and get the digital copy instead. The $10 rebate thing will be nice to have.
