For those playing Skyrim on PS3, File Size?

[Swordsmansmith]

Anyone know if the ps3 version has to download and what size it will be? Some games do and some don't so I'm just wondering. I have dead island which is a pretty large open world type game but it didnt ever have to download just put disc in and play. Yet RDR had to download for like 15 minutes.

And if you're a PC or XBOX fanboy save your "this platform is better blah blah blah..." for a difrrent thread. I like PS3 and you don't that's why we (USA) have a free market economy to buy what we want...

I think the official quote was 5.5gb.

So how much download time roughly?

I think that you install it onto your console's hard drive from the disc so that it doesn't have to load everything from there. I'm pretty sure all youll download is the patch.

If you are wondering about install time for your PS3, I'm guessing around 30-40 min.

however long it is, it'll be worth the wait man!

I have a PS3 and i will delete everything on my PS3 so my PS3 will be 100% Skyrim

Yeah everyone has to wait apparently without install it only runs in low res.

Is Skyrim doing that too? I know Battlefield was doing that with it's Xbox version, but I hadn't heard that about Skyrim on PS3.

Well ps3 is mandontory download but on xbox w/o the download you'll be playing it in low res.
