Street Fighter IV is PS3 bound

Time to free up another 4-5GB I think...

very cool, but is anyone else more excited about the SFII remake?

Confusingly numbered? Last time I checked 4 came after 3! Unless they are confused by the roman numerals in this version.

As much as I want this, I just have too many games to play, hopefully this won't come out until the fall or winter.

Phew, I was starting to get a little worried that I was going to have to try and somehow play this with that horrible 360 d-pad.

PC version yes please!! Definitely putting this in my Arcade Cabinet, thank you Capcom!

it will most likely sell the best on ps3 because of the controller though...

Vcize - there are very few games that require big installs, I was using 5 as a high estimation of the number of games requiring 4-5 gig installs.... games like DMC4, Hot Shots Golf, and GT5.

Most games use 1-2 gigs max. Adolson has 11 games taking up 25 gigs of space. At that rate, you could have 25 games on a 80 gig machine easily.

Adolson - I never said media couldn't be on your hard drive, but it's each person's choice to use the hard drive space for that instead of games. It's easy to get a memory card, USB thumb drive, or USB hard drive, fill it up with media, and connect it to your PS3. Media doesn't need to be on your PS3's hard drive directly, unlike game data. Also, there's the DLNA option to have it accessible from any computer on your network.

Hopefully more and more game developers will take the Naughty Dog route and do things right. And I do think it's cromulent to bitch to the devs about it. But I don't think it's useful or appropriate to bitch to Sony about it. They aren't forcing anyone to use hard drive installs.... and their hard drive sizes are pretty respectable given current prices on laptop hard drives. The 20 gig drive was totally lame, but 40 is ok (not great) and 80 is pretty decent. I can't really fault them for not putting in higher cost drives given the cost of the rest of the machine.

I think Sony themselves have done really well by opening the dev standards to allow installs in the first place, and also opening the machine to generic drive upgrades.

I think that saying everyone will need to upgrade the machine during its lifetime is overstating things. I think most average users will be fine even with a 40 gig. They might need to delete some old game data after a few years if the trend continues with large installs, but are you really going to be playing DMC4 in 6 years anyway? Probably not.

While I've gotten somewhat used to the lag on Tekken 5 DR when playing online, I hope Capcom tries harder to bring it down to a minimum... Yes, I'm expecting online support for this title.

It'll be the deciding factor for which console I buy it for.. But for now, I'm leaning towards the PS3, because my 360 seems to be on it's deathbed, with frequent disc read errors... And from what I heard, those don't fall under the extended warranty given to RROD'd consoles.
