Isn't that just your save game stuff? Lol I guess not , 167mb save game file would be crazy.

nah, save files are really small and are under the Saved data section, i think. i think the "Game Data" section is for when games put things on your HDD. i'm not quite sure on this, but thats what i'm guessing. i made a thread asking this question.

the install for resistance is for online purposes....if you go to options when on resistance online and click soldier loadout you will see that you can customize your own soldier and as you gain rankings and new ribbons/achievements new things become available for your soldier.

that is definately the save game file, it's just bigger than usual because developers know the ps3 has hard drive space so they don't have to compress the save game data, just look at the back of an xbox game case. plus, the entire game itself is approximately 22gb not 167 mb

Just got my VF5 yesterday, it's an optional install to the HDD, asks you when you first start it up, and is 2.4Gb.

I'm sure it will require storing some files on your ps3. The article about Oblivion on GS mentioned something about being able to "cache gigs of information on the ps3 to decrease loading times" or something similar (I kind of paraphrased). I just hope it doesn't stick over 2Gb of information on my HDD. I've kind of been considering buying a 120Gb external drive. Maybe this is the excuse I'm looking for :D

From what I understand, it'll be long load times without installing on the HD and shorter load times with it installed...

That 167Mb "Game Data" file is NOT a save file! It is files from the game that it puts on the ps3 to reduce loading times! The save file is only 160Kb-ish. It fits on my 128Mb camera card that's already over half full. I had to keep it on my SD card when I reformatted my hard drive. The game takes about 10 seconds to load the stuff up on your ps3 and can be deleted, but you have to reinstall it before you can play RFOM again. If you don't believe me delete the "game data utility" file for resistance, load up the game and pay attention to the first screen you get.
