Uh multi-platform titles certainly aren’t too big as they are designed with the Xbox in mind which has a limit of 6.7GB everything taken into account (copy a game to dash and that’s the highest total)

Sony is also know to have padded some first party Blu-ray games, the first Ratchet & Clank did and the data was only around 12GB I think and also you could remove the localizations and server up an image specific to each area.

Isn’t most of the disk taken up by duplicated data (to speed up disk access times) anyway? Strip that out and I would think that most games would be substantially smaller…

Sony is really bad at compressing data nothing to the amount M$ can do.

And Warhawk and GT5 Prologue… Should be a case by case basis. Don’t see any major reason they can’t match title for title of games the 360 lets you download, unless the PS3 version of those are really uncompressed… Actually just read the link and it seems they speculate something similar…
