Glad to see more work being done to improve the game, but that is one fuck-all HUGE patch. At least PS3s have bigger HDDs on average than 360s do. Imagine a patch like this for a 360 game...and you have an Arcade unit?? Yikes.
One day I noticed I had no fucking space on my PS3 left, but I had nothing on it but 20 ~100 MB arcade games on it.
Then I looked at my "game section". Are you fucking kidding me? I had no less than EIGHT games that had over a GB of cached data - one even had 4GB of useless data! Why!

Great. That's just wonderful.
Don't get me wrong, I like that they're adding features in post-release. I just really, really, REALLY wish I didn't have to take my system off-line to delay a patch. I'd like to get home, do a few races, and then enable the patch when I go out or something.
Ah well.

While these fixes should be included in the game at first, I'm glad that polphony is doing the best they can.
In before Sexualchocolate mocking the supposed 4MB Xbox Live patch limit :)
PS - Monday Night Combat just received a free 400ish MB patch the other day, so I'm not sure why that 4MB number even exists...

isn't that screenshot from V8 Superstars???
but the patch is FUCKING awesome! it seems to fix a LOT of issues and some of the new challenges seem really worth the trouble

Those complaining about patches you do have a few solutions:
- you can become a PS+ member and the games/system will update itself when you're not using it.
- Just cancel the update and play. Patch later.
- Or stop bitchin and change your tampon.
Game on!

@ Enzi its no way in hell you own a PS3. The wiat for patches are ridiculous. I love my PS3, but no one can defend this shit. I just bought a new PS3 after my previous one broke. I played Uncharted 2. I had to wait like an hour for all the patches. I played Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. The patch was 102MB, I'm like "this game hasn't even been out that long". On my 360, the patched take way less time. They need to work on making smaller patches on PS3.
@Enzi
Because not everyone has a 320GB HDD to blow on patches that shouldn't be necessary in the first place. I have a 40GB and just between the forced installs and a few PSN games I'm running low on space. I don't have the money or time to upgrade my HDD right now, the point is I shouldn't have to. What happened to making complete games? Especially ones that have been in development for 5 years...

@Baby Jesus : I have noticed that the patch depends on the case. My xbox takes longer to patch that my PS3. Same network, same size, same game.
@Trax22 that could be the case. The biggest update on my 360 I remember was Burnout Paradise. That was reasonable considering it was for the DLC that introduced a whole island. But these massive updates need to be seperated into smaller updates. Maybe slowly introduce this stuff. Between the firmware and game updates, it takes too long to play a PS3 game.
I'm so glad I have automatic updates with Playstation Plus. And a nice 250 Gb hard drive. But by the looks of it, I might need a new one soon
there was a recent like 300mb update for NFS:HP and i was like for what? then it turns out its the 3 free cars, wheel support and new race content for that upcoming PAID DLC. why not make people download the dlc when they pay for it and not force an update i cant use unless i pay for it? that was lame.
Sweet...I think all start playing online now. Did they fix the fact that everyone chooses a 1200 HP super car?
@Enzi
I own Fallout 3 on both 360 and PS3. Somehow the PS3 patch is 4GB larger than my 360 version.
That's why I have an issue. 20 games later, that adds up.
Then you have to add in games that REQUIRE you to install!

@Trax22 I didn't want to call you out, but I agree with Stinky and amtalx. There is no way in hell an PS3 update takes the same amount of time as the 360. I can go back and play Gears 2 for instance and the update will most likely take less than a minute. If I play Uncharted 2, which I did after a months of having a broken PS3, it took about an hour. The PSP takes longer to update than 360. I have also never seen an 600Mb 360 update. Burnout Paradise maybe, but I bought that from the marketplace. Your gonna have to name the game that got that massive 360 update
@Enzi
Because it can take an hour or more from the time you put in a disc to playing between a game's installation, any new system updates, and any game updates? If I didn't have an Xbox 360 to switch to, I'd flip the fuck out.
Speaking of which, the biggest Xbox 360 game update I've ever had was Monday Night Combat, and that only took five minutes. The new Xbox update for Kinect took less than three. I've installed PS3 updates that do nothing but "security updates" which have taken longer.
The patching? It's a problem. My dad bought himself a game yesterday and he was complaining that it took him twenty minutes to get to playing it. It's really kind of pathetic.

@FPS Baby Jesus & RenegadePanda:
I have a fat PS3 ;)
Thing is, patching is so damn easy. Just wait. You don't need to look for any source where you can get the patch, download it from a a way too overloaded host with 2-3 kb/sec and then install it.
Now you just have to press some buttons. Usually my patches are downloaded with 2-3 Mb/sec so the network is pretty fast too. I don't know guys, I never had any problems with patching nor was I upset when a patch was showing up. I think you are just spoiled.
Now HDD size is something different. Yeah, Sony dropped the ball with their 40gb PS3. It was and is too small.

@ sofik88 took a lil longer than I expected for you to come in and bash GT5. This story has been up for like 25 minutes. I have 1 question for you. Do you hate the PlayStation brand in general or just GT5? You seem to bash GT5 every chance you get. I have never read why you actually hate it. You never state a valid reason. This patch is a lil over the top, I will give you that. But give everyone hear a valid reason why this game is shitty to you.
Heya Dale, don't forget about GT Academy. That's getting added with this patch too, for those people who signed up for that and want to make a run at that big reality show dealy of theirs.
@Enzi maybe what you are saying is true, but I had the original $600 dollar PS3 that I plan on gettin fixed in the near future. The patches on that took just as long. My internet speeds don't seem to be a problem, either way I don't think a patch should ever be 600mb after 5 years of waiting lol
Yea I have a 40gb and the reason I got it and not the 80 was because I had no idea it was going to REQUIRE massive installs and 600mb updates. Imagine how pissed you would have been if a PC game you were playing required an update that big when you only had a 40gb hard drive. You can't honestly say you wouldn't be at least irritated by something like that.
@Enzi
I'm spoiled for wanting my games to take less than five minutes from the time I take it out of shrink wrap to the time I'm playing it? Right. I switched from PC gaming to console gaming partially because I was sick of installations.
And the HD-size is a massive issue for me, and one of the reasons ALL my multi-platform games are on Xbox 360. I've got well over 150 games this generation. Try guessing the HD size I'd need if I had them on my PS3.

is everyone forgetting, didnt sony say the ps3 was gonna be more of a computer than a console? or something like that?
if you have a ps3 and are running out of space just get a 500gb 2.5" hard drive. they are less than 100$.

some people just don't know they can erase that install data at godam time they want. if you still have the oblivion install on your hdd and haven't played it over 3 years, you probably should erase it.
and this is funny, they release a patch that adds and fixes a ton of shit, did you really think it was only gonna be 20 megabytes? or would you have rather wanted 6 100 megabyte patches over the course of 6 weeks?
sofic, what the fuck are you playing right now? how much is microsoft paying you for your pointless posts here?

@fetusmilk
Put bluntly, even a 500 gig hard drive wouldn't be big enough for my needs. Here's a selected list of the multiplatform games I've got for 360...
Bioshock - 5 gigs
Bioshock 2 - 4.98 gigs
Devil May Cry - 4.83 gigs
Fallout 3 - 5 gigs
Fallout: NV - 5 gigs
Far Cry 2 - 3.5 gigs
GTAVI - 3.3 gigs
Hawx - 4 gigs
Lost Planet - 4.9 gigs
Lost Planet 2 - 4.61 gigs
Oblivion - 4.6 gigs
Saints Row 2 - 3.8 gigs
Total: 53.52 gigs
That's a tenth of one of the largest available, cost-effective HDs on the market for a PS3. And that doesn't take into account DLC, Updates, or Console-exclusive game installations.
The patching and installations? They're ridiculous and add up quickly.

@Qraze
On the one hand, sure, why not. Go ahead and delete your game installations. On the other hand... It'd be infuriating to pick through my collection and decide that hey, I'd like to play this game I haven't played in a couple years... And find I've got to wait half an hour.

I lol at all the people who whine about waiting for a patch that adds more value to your game. FU guys.
I love how I saw this post as I was in the middle of deleting the game off my system to have enough space for a thumb-drive backup because of the copy-protected game save. WELL DONE. :-D
I was scrolling through the comments and thought to myself, wow, no Sofik? Then I saw him and said, THERE HE IS. Lol. It can't be a GT5 post without HIM.
I bought 500 gigs for €50. That's less than a game! And half the price of a 250 gig Xbox hdd by the way. More gigs to install but cheaper to buy the space. All in all that's pretty even in my book. Oh no there's a +1 for the PS3. I can actually choose which hdd I want to put in my console.
First people complain about the lack of things. Developer adds stuff. Then people complain about the patch. What the hell is wrong with you all? Stop complaining and thank the devs for listening. It's not Activision we're talking about here. Damn.
Also that patch took me less than 4 mins. I know because I watched a 4 min long video and it was done before that ended.
@Magnalon
There is an option in GT5 which says "Delete cache date". You might want to check that out.

Very nice. I got the Formula GT from the online collector dealership! I have tried for days to find it on the regular used dealerships. :D
More updates please! More premium cars please!

Why do people keep moaning about patches? Just cancel it, no logging off required, download later when you're not actually wanting to play.
Yes, it's that simple.
Yes, it's that simple.
I need to write a blog about GT5.
At first they made us wait for the development.
Then we waited for the delayed release
When we got it, we waited for it to install
Then we waited for it to load, every. single. screen.
Then patch after patch we waited hours to download.
Then there was no one left to wait.

@bruceleethree
that's the meta game aspect of GT. GT people like that shit. I feel the pain for any late buyer for this game. Of course it also creates late. And of course this costs Sony money since it has to waste its bandwidth.
