XBOX 360 discs don't have the capacity of Blu-Rays, and as such they are much smaller (When the full capacity of a Blu-Ray is being used, that is)

It is what it is. You're downloading an entire Blu-Ray disc worth of content - it's going to take a lot of time and space on the hard drive. Even so, I'll still be getting it earlier than I would be if I waited for an Amazon delivery on Tuesday evening (UPS takes FOREVER to get here). And it would cost about the same either way after the $10 I'll get back on PSN.

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.
