I have a word of advice to those with an old 20GB PS3. Upgrade your hard drive. Sure, that’s four words, but you get the point. Why am I imparting this sage-like wisdom upon you? Because it seems to be a trend for developers to demand large portions of your hard drive to play their games. It seems that Haze is no exception.
Gamers everywhere were up in arms when they found out that Devil May Cry 4 needed 5GB of space just to play the game. Now this need for space is becoming quite the trend. While Haze isn’t quite going to eat up a full 5GB, it will still need 4.
Honestly, I don’t see developers getting off of this train, so you might as well upgrade your drive. Sony was kind enough to make it nice and easy to do, so I would suggest taking advantage of it.

I couldn’t care less with those game installs, they improve the games by reducing loading times and the BR drive can rest more.
A 320Gb HDD costs now less than 1 single game, and you can use it to much more things that only game installs, so I thing this shoudn’t be much of a concern to anyone.

The fact that the PS3 has a hard drive (upgradable I might add) is a fantastic future proofing result for Sony.
I love the fact that games can use the hard drive in such a way that the game will play a lot better time after time. Sure, it takes longer to start the damn thing when first inserted, but the results are well worth it.
It’s a massive step forward and not the leap backwards that so many folk are touting.
You have no idea how much this option will speed up game development by making things easier for the coders. Some really crappy steps to making a game play on a console without a hard drive can be bypassed now. Bonus!
MK24ever is correct! A 320 gig hard drive would be sweet!
Live long and play hard!
