These can be found under the "Game Data Utility" folder under the Game icon.
Games from the PS Shop count too.

NOTE: Metal Gear Solid 4 has 5 Acts to it. Each act has its own installation file. These installation files overwrite each other so you don't have to worry about have duplicates or too many. If you can install 1 Act, you pretty much can install them all.

XD yeah

Well, Ridge Racer loads its stuff up seamlessly so it makes sense. There are alot of tracks and cars.

pheoxs · Jan 12, 2008

Guitar Hero 3 = 0 unless you download extra off from the Sony store.
Motorstorm = 0 as well

mootin · Jan 12, 2008

No - I'm pretty sure thats what it installed. I never actually played the game but I actually sat through the whole installation.

/updated

EDIT:
If you want me to put on more installation sizes, please make sure you put the exact # of MB from no one. Better because that's the way the PS3 display sizes for some reason.

Don't forget - if you have a PS Shop game like Shooter or Fl0w. They count too.

OmegaNemesis28 · Jan 20, 2008

bump
I'm getting some PS3 games from my friend over the weekened to "try" out. Soon I'll also have a gamefly subscription so I'll update this alot.

OmegaNemesis28 · Jan 29, 2008

Updated with Orange Box, tomorrow I'll have Burnout Paradise, and I have several games "owed" to me from a friend that I never even got to play such as Ratchet/Clank.

ElMikeTheMike · Jan 29, 2008

You have a typo for warhawk.

*Warhawk v1.20 = 813MB (0.8MB)....should be .8GB

Just a friendly FYI.

OmegaNemesis28 · Feb 3, 2008

Added Blazing Angels 2 and Burnout Paradise. Both of them are under 50MB installations which is amazing considering their quality.

pheoxs · Feb 3, 2008

You can add Dirt has no installation (Oddly enough every game I've owned so far has no installations lol)

startekee · Feb 3, 2008

does all these installation limit the number of games you can play without uninstalling other game files

korosu · Feb 3, 2008

i honestly had no idea that PS3 games had hard drive installations.

judging by some of the sizes (and piracy issues), i assume you still have to use the disc to play the games.. right?

Yep you still need the discs unless it was a full digital download.

Here are some more if you feel like adding them:

Super Stardust HD (148MB)

EyeCreate (9051 KB)

Aquatopia (39 MB)

Mesmerize: Dinstort (134 MB)

Operation Creature Feature (136 MB)

Tori-Emaki (73 MB)

I'm also looking at my installation of Warhawk under Game Data Utility and it says 957 MB. And for Guitar Hero 3: 24 MB.

pheoxs · Feb 3, 2008

For the Guitar Hero, theres no installation, its just around 10mb per song you download off the internet.

Crazy9000 · Feb 3, 2008

BTW if it matters, the normal oblivion takes less space then the GOTY (GOTY adds shivering isles). I can't remember the exact space it takes up, as I sold it.

yes you still need the disc to play. Reason for these installations is mostly to speed up loading times and because the BluRay player is only 2x read, its slow and big textures, shaders, ect need to be installed.

Added the ones Mike posted and edited the Oblivion to GOTY

Did you download the game or did you buy the disc?

EDIT:
What should we put for the games that are downloaded off the Playstation store? Im doing D/L as of now but open to suggestions.

I bought the disc. Havent downloaded any GH3 songs either. Not sure what that 24mb consists of.

As for PSN games...Could start a list at the bottom of the main one, or just mix 'em all together.

Oh, and have you downloaded the extra map pack for Warhawk? Could be why you have a larger one then me.

mrtn400 · Feb 3, 2008

Wait, when you buy PS3 games you have to install them onto the PS3's HDD?

I'm glad I didn't get one then.

Yes, but it doesn't take very long and it just does it without any effort.
