For anybody who have little disk drive space and are generally preparing for purchasing Mass Effect 2 when it releases tomorrow, January 18, 2010, expect you'll clear a bit space for your HDD's: 4.5 GB to generally be precise.

The Sixth Axis is reporting that but the reverse of your Mass Effect 2 game box displays a 5.3 GB installation requirement, your space needed is just 4.5 GB. Your website is usually claiming a 30 minute minimum installation time; however, installation times can very considerably depending on differing console variables for example available space and HDD fragmentation.

Moreover, as reported by various outlets last week, Mass Effect 2 will be be also released, to be a download, for the Playstation Network identical day as it is disc-based release. It truly is rumored that your downloadable version from the game(cheapest ps3 games) will weigh in in a hefty 12 GB, though there has become no confirmation.

Plus the reason for such large installation and download requirements: size. In line with the Sixth Axis: "We spoke to EA this morning who told us that it [installation size] is because of the larger degree of additional DLC and format exclusive content incorporated with the PS3(buy ps3 games) version on the game(cheap ps3 games), this features an alternative graphics engine removed from Mass Effect 3."
