Did you just pick up the PS3 version of Prototype only to discover you can't, um, play it? You are not alone! If your PS3 tells you that you don't have enough hard disk space for the installation -- and you know that it's LYING to you -- then you'll have to use this workaround, provided by Activision support: change the amount of free hard disk space on your system by 700MB. This can be done by either installing another PS3 game (like Infamous), downloading game demos (like the Infamous demo), or downloading and removing videos from the hard drive (like videos of Infamous).
The Activision support site notes the team is working on a better solution: "We take this issue very seriously and are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause." We're sure PS3 owners will patiently wait for a patch.
[Thanks, Patrick!]

nah, just avoid all his attacks and throw grenades after he shoots the lolazer when he is on the ground. Should beat him in no time.

God I'm glad I picked up inFamous instead. I was sketchy about Prototype since it always kinda reminded me of Mercenaries 2...with a twist!

Is Prototype good?
I just picked up a PS3 yesterday to complete my console collection, picked up inFamous and Killzone 2 with it, will be playing some inFamous later today.
But I was kinda thinking about picking up prototype for my 360 (for the achievements). Is it any good?

Yea HUEY, I too am confused why you were down-voted there... +1 for you sir..
I would put Prototype on hold, and since you are new to the PS3 I am sure you haven't played Uncharted. I would HIGHLY recommend you playing that before you get any more games. I'm sure you can find it on EBAY for like $30.
My 5 favorite PS3 (exclusive) Games are as follows:
1.) Uncharted
2.) Killzone 2
3.) MGS4
4.) Infamous (just beat it on my good play-through)
5.) Warhawk

Haven't we seen this problem before, they use an inappropriate number of bits for reading the space available and certain readings appear to say theres not enough space?
By changing the amount of space you have available you change the number that gets read and then it works...I forget what game did this before, but I remember it.

More particularly, it happened exclusively with users who downloaded the first version of the R&C demo. Everyone else had no issues. Weird...
