Pre-Order MLB 13 The Show From PSN Store & Download at 12:01 AM EST, March 5th

I keep hearing that hard drive space needed is 40gig but I don't see this listed anywhere on the PS website. Is this just a commonly known thing? Would rather dl than go to GameStop at midnight.

20 for the download and 20 for the install. After the install the other 20 will be freed up again.

Its not official yet, but most assume the game will be 20gb+ download.

Things get sticky though as you need the space to download the game, then at least enough space to install the download to.

But if it is split into smaller parts you won't need double that space, Ni No Kuni was 16gb and 6gb. In this case you only needed 32gb total space I believe.

1. download 16gb, install 16gb = 32gb needed
2. 16gb taken up by install (downloaded installer should be gone now) + 6gb download + 6gb install = 28gb needed

final space taken up by game after install = 22gb

So you needed at least 32gb to download and install Ni No Kuni

But if MLB 13 is one big download, lets say 22gb or something you will need

22gb download + 22gb install space = 44gb, but the game should only take up 22gb once installation is finished. So I'd wait until people know the file size, if its split, and so on if anyone has space limitations.

Its a problem with PSN games and only recently become an issue with all the full game downloads being offered in the last year or so.

People need to be aware of it and Sony should list this directly on the store. If you purchase a game like Ni No Kuni and have a 40gb version of PS3, you can't install the thing. Your purchase is unplayable. There are countless threads of people having issues with space. http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/tec...-game-v-v.html

Really? I preordered from Gamestop without knowing that.

My PS3 won't read disks. Since I'm primarily an xbox guy, I can't justify buying a new system right now. If I download the game digitally, will it still work despite that?

I don't see why not. It'll be on your hard drive so it has no need to access the blue ray drive.

Will it be able downloadable and playable on the PS4 once it comes out?
