Gran Turismo 5 requires a small install of 256MB to run - but to get the best out of the game, you're going to need to take up a much bigger chunk of your PS3's HDD.

Polyphony Digital boss Kaz Yamauci has recommended players earmark 10GB of space to install the game - presumably to take the heat off the Blu-ray disc.

According to a Tweet from the man himself (translated by Andriasang), Yamauchi believes a 10GB install is required for a "smooth" gameplay experience.

Cripes. We can only imagine what Gran Turismo 6 will take up.

Sony this month detailed a Collector's Edition of GT5, which contains a model car, a key fob and loads more besides.

GT5 is due for release on November 2 in the US and a day later in the UK and Europe.

Bloody hell... Mind you, what's the average? :?

All I know is that GTA4 came with a beard trimmer... :lol:

Dammit. Sony were a bit stingy with mine, giving me only 20GB HDD. Given that they had issues over people upgrading their hard drives, I think this is gonna be an issue.

Then you have to add in game saves. That will add up to a lot. I have filled my Xbox solely with saved games.

Only with the last but one firmware, but they've apparently fixed that.

When the PS3 was released, they were saying this about a lot of games. Never really came to fruition, personally I would like to option to install the game (or at least chunks of it) onto the HDD in more cases.

Especially as it is faster than the optical drives.

I think the prices are direct currency conversions and not the expected price One of the comments states:
Quote:
£329 for the GT27 and £119 for the GT. The prices are on Logitech's site.


A bit pricey to say the least!
