According to the Playstation Store link for the game, the download is 1015KB.

Now that is some compression.

That is not the game size however.

Haha no kidding. I am really curious where they got the 1015kb size that they are listing on the psn store website.

I downloaded nba 2k13 on xbox live and it was only 7 or 8 gb i believe. I can't imagine the show would be over 20gb.

Someone earlier mentioned that PS3 games are much larger than xbox games.

Not necessarily. A lot of multiplatform games are the same size on PS3 a lot of tims. The games developed exclusively for PS3 though tend to be larger since they don't need to worry as much about space. Uncharted series, Ni No Kuni have all been huge lately 20-43gb.

Again I have reason to believe MLB 13 will be at least 20gb unless the game is smaller than past games. I won't explicitly say why I think that, but the info is out there for people to find.

It has to be over 10gb as there is an install of 10gb on the disc version. So just going off of that info its easy to believe it will be very large.

It is going to be at least 20gb if not 20 on the nose.

Do downloaded games freeze at all?

Not if your HDD isn't broken. It should run like any other game and most likely, unless in cases of poor optimization, will have faster load times.

I don't think the size will be reduced at all, it should be the same exact data that is on the disc version.

Uncharted GOTY is 43.5gb, almost a full dual layer blurray. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/...re-update-280/

You also have to think about your HDD, you might be saving wear and tear on your blurray drive, but putting more work on your HDD. I think the benefits of digital are still great, but its not as cut and dry as just "digital is better".

ya but you cant really compare Uncharted 3 GOTY to MLB The Show...

Uncharted is like watching a movie and playing a game. The amount of cutscenes and the length of them are crazy..plus with GOTY you are getting every single thing that has ever been released with that game.

my prediction for the file size will be 15-20gb

I Pre-ordered 2 (one each for my son & I). This is my first experience downloading a full game. Can't wait for 0001 Tuesday!

Yeah, I think the included DLC is the biggest factor in that file size. Ni No Kuni is an absolutely huge game content-wise, and it's only half the size of that Uncharted download.

I wasn't comparing them, I was only saying that they do not tone down the file size for PSN. Its whatever is on the disc version, the game is the game.

It will be at least 20gb, its been said multiple times. Past The Show games have been this large and this year should be larger. Unless they changed something it will be at least 20gb.
