Will you still get Mass Effect even though it takes up 6.74GB on your hard drive? I doubt i will since 20GB hard drives are usually only 12GB and 12GB - 6.74Gb = 5.26GB left.

If you want a link just ask.(I don't know if this is old news or not)

Ick! why would it take up so much space? do you install the game on your hd or something? o.O

I dont get to open my 20gig system until xmas, but if it's really the case then i should go exchange it for an elite. Can you post the link? i would like to read it for myself. :)

i think your wrong :) We did get a sneak peek or the main screen on the dev kit and the size of the game is 6.74 GB – well within the contstraints of a dual layer DVD-9. When you see how huge this game is, you'll see that even future iterations like Mass Effect 2 and 3 with their upgrades will not have a problem with disc space.

I'm fairly sure that's how much room it takes up on the disc.

The game takes up 6.74 GB on a DVD disc. It will only take up a small amount of MBs. There's nothing to worry about, it will not take up much room on you Harddrive.

that article you linked says that the game takes up 6.74GB on the DVD, which doesn't mean you need to install 6.74 GBs worth of datato your HDrive.

yeah it's not talking about space on your hard drive it's talking about space on the disc. i am pretty sure that they wouldn't say ONLY 6.74 if it takes up half of your hard drive

It's an RPG, not a shooter. In RPGs you actually have to THINK, but most people don't have that ability and prefer crappy FPSs with barely a story and just want to KILL! KILL! KIIIILL!

And it doesn't take that much space

it was a mistake that's it, don't sweat it guy... but i was pretty scared when i read the first post, i don't think i have that much space left on my now damaged 360's hard-drive, thanks to the guys that cleared it though, just stop giving the guy a hard time, is not like you've never made mistakes of your own right.:twisted:
