Tools of Destruction has a small installation glitch, not the end of the world photo

When I received my copy of Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destructoid from Sony yesterday morning, I was met with some bad news. Unfortunately, my PlayStation 3 thought my HDD had insufficient space, as Tools of Destruction requires 419 MB of space for initial installation. Before deleting files off of my hard drive, I cried in my community blog, and was met with such gems as "Just buy another PS3 with the lavish salary that destructoid provides you," and "Delete all of your porn."

As it turns out, this wasn't my fault -- Insomniac's James Stevenson has confirmed with Shacknews that there is a small bug in the U.S. version of the game that causes the system to think you don't have enough memory, even though you do. The solution is annoying, but simple.

"When this occurs, either delete or add about 500MB of data to your hard drive and the problem will go away," Stevenson told Shacknews.

Not the best solution, but this might be the perfect opportunity to wipe Super Rub a Dub off of your hard drive before your friends find out about it.

I thought the whole point of consoles was so you didn't have to worry about BS like this...

Install? Am i missing something here? Or have sony been piping on about blueray's capacity only to have to install a game to play it? Quite funny indeed.

Just nuke that copy of SWAP.AVI, Nick. It's not like you're going to watch it more than 12 times, anyways.

Delete Talladega Night. It takes up too much space.

so wait, you HAVE to install 500mb of the game in order to play it? That seems kind of weird.

And why don't they fix this? It sounds like they knew about the problem, they should fix it.

You shouldn't have to install something like that. Is the HDD bus just not fast enough to just stream data, the way the Xbox HDD did, or the way the extra RAM on the GC/Wii and PSP Slim can?

You don't have to install it, it's just a way to optimize the game. Still...not as good as 360.

Install or delete. Either way, it's a strange bug and it's a strange bug fix.




STRANGE.
