Lads if I buy this off this psn store any idea how long it would take to download the 12GB

Its 16gb and it would depend on your internet

Its 18GB and depends on (a) your internet connection speed and (b) how ever many people are downloading it.

You will also require 36GB free on your PS3 due to the 18GB download and the 18GB install. Once its installed, the download will be deleted and will only take up 18GB of drive space.

Took me 6 hours to download and install on a 30MB line.

It depends on your Internet, I downloaded the FIFA 14 demo the other day and it took 3 hours for the 1.5GB! It would probably take me 36 hours to download GTA V! :eek:

I am getting 150mb off UPC

.jacksparrow.

So I think my xbox 360 has only 12gb memory on it, but I thought it would have more. So I take it I need a usb stick too?

How can I use that stick and a hdmi cable if I only have one port?

Maybe I'm too old for all this!

I think 150 Mb speeds arent really that bad tbh. And dont be pulling out Google Fibre as a ridiculous comparison.

Funnily enough when I lived in the backass of nowhere my broadband was very fast, since I moved into town it is up and down like a fecking yo-yo!

2 ports in the front of the Xbox in the little flap....to the right of the power button....

Assuming you have the older model?

But Google F......oh wait, it is great and would love it, but not many have it unfortunately, most fibre will only get you just under 50 Mb.

Well as I understand it, the mandatory install for Xbox is 8gb and the further optional instal is 7.5gb so if you were to both then yes it seems you'd need a USB stick but you could get away without it

Also USB and HDMI are different types of port to you can use both at the same time

I have the xbox 360, got it 5 years ago, I'm reading they have a minimum 20gb space, so maybe ill be alright.

Its not the xbox arcade type with only 4gb.

My xbox will sound like a jet engine if i dont install it. At least its immersive when i jump into a jet

New Build Wexford

great game

.jacksparrow.

Think I'm figuring it out now, I have a 20gb hard drive but system requirements take up 8gb, so I will need extra space.

I see you can buy a new hard drive and slot it in,
think ill do that.

Are you sure you can do that? I know you can replace the HDD on the PS3 but I didn't think that you could on the 360...?

If there's only 8GB taken up by system requirements, are the other 12gb free?
