3. Pre-game Installs
With big games comes big installs and this time we're talking really big. A massive 8GB install will be required before you can sink your teeth into Rockstars latest epic and that goes for both PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles (the latter splitting the game contents over two disks however only one will be needed for the install, the other for playing). What's worse is that Xbox users may have to rely on external storage to store the beast if their free space isn't sufficient. It may take another hour before your fun can really begin, which may make for some jumpy gamers watching their progress bars slowly rise come release day. Couple this with inevitable updates and DLC and you get the idea of how much space you'll need.
