Wondering what the file sizes are for Madden NFL 12 EA Sports Season Ticket subscribers?

PS3 - 4.87 GB
360 - 4.72 GB

Both will be available on August 26th. Should be interesting to see what the speeds will be like.

yea that's smaller than i thought as well. I might be able to get this for my 4gb 360 after all, since i bought a 8gb flash drive a couple weeks ago. just have to remove a few things and I'm good to go.

Yeah about half of the size I thought it would be, but I did read somewhere that single layer dvds are about 4.7gbs and dual layer are around 9. Does anyone know the facts about the DVD's xbox and ps use?

I wonder why the 360 is smaller than the PS3...Also, I wonder if that is the same size of the actual game on the disc as well.

Anyone have an estimate on download time based on this new info.? I don't D/L much, so I have no idea what to expect. Could be the difference between playing Friday night vs. waiting until Saturday morning!

thanks for the info alot of ppl were wondering the GB's it was gonna take.

# 8 bdp558 @ 08/22/11 05:13 PM

so based on my internet speed.. 25.6 mbps then i should be able to download 4.72 gbs in 24 minutes - an hour of course thats if the download speed stays constant.

Standard size for most games really.....not many games have a file size above 6gb and no game uses the full 8gb that is available on the disc.

AFAIK, Xbox uses ~9GB DVDs, and PS3s use ~50GB Blu-ray discs (they may use the 25GB discs for PS3, I'm not quite sure)

So do I, just because a game comes with multiple discs don't equal they using the whole disc, because they don't.

You can read all 3 discs........all of them will say 6gb used out of 8gb

So some things might be missing since the 4gb has no hard drive?? If i remove the demo from my flash drive i should have close to six after that. I'll have enough space for the game. I also have a ps3, so either way I'm getting the season ticket I'm just deciding what system to purchase it on..

That's really small. Maybe the files are heavily compressed for download?
