Poll of the Day > PS4 tells me too clear 9+GB for FFXV Update...

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have over 35GBs free, so I'm wondering, how huge is this update?

3.167 GB... So, why did I have to clear all that space...

I got tired of constantly running out of space and just threw a 2TB drive into my PS4.

It's probably just buffer space - it has to download an enitrely new copy of the game before deleting the old one

My PS4 has told me to clear memory space for updates for other games before, only to have it take up a much smaller amount than the space I already had empty and available. It's happened for at least a couple different games for me.

The PS4 is finnicky that way.

I always dither about doing that. On the one hand, I'm kind of a data hoarder and I don't like deleting old game installs out of my hard drive even if I haven't played them in like forever, but on the other hand I'm a lazy procrastinator and can't muster up the energy or motivation to actually care enough to buy a hard drive.

I'll probably get pushed into doing it if GTA:O and ESO keep getting bigger and bigger updates to the point where they eventually can't co-exist on the same stock hard drive, but until then I can still sort of juggle the games I'm actively using without too much trouble.

The PS4 is famous for this, I think it want 50+ gigs free for buffer files.

the ps4 needs double the space of the actual update.

also, its reaaaaaally easy to upgrade the ps4 hdd. with ps3 the screws where a pain in the ass for the drive holder. ps4? done in less than 15min (including watching a video to show you how)

Too clear or not clear enough?
