Can't play prototype

[FatJoe214]

I have a problem playing prototype. I just bought the game and when I press start it says " There is not enough available space in the HDD. [PROTOTYPE] TM requires st least 649 MB of free space. Press the PS button to return to the XMB screen. You can restart the game after freeing 649 MB of space from the HDD". I don't know what that means but I checked my system settings and I have more than enough space. Can you help me?

I thought Prototype was upwards of 6GB. You sure it isn't talking about memory? Shutdown all the programs hogging a lot of memory, even idle stuff in the system tray, and see if it works.

he's on about the PS3, genius.

anyway OP, I know Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction had this problem, and was apparently fixed by deleting things like music and videos that you don't need off your HDD, and then restarting the game.

Perhaps you could try that?

I was wondering what he was talking about when he mentioned a "PS button"

If I was being a jerk, I would've insulted him in some way, somethng like 'HE'S ON ABOUT TEHPSTHREE FAGGUT'

asking a question doesn't exactly mean I'm acting like a jerk, genius.

thats funny, because i cant play prototype either. not because of memory or console issues, but because it sucks.

It thought there was something odd about your post, and I'd like to thank you for that.

See, if you haven't already got it working, I'm actually going to answer your question for you, instead of derailing the topic. That message simply means that you need 600 or so more Megabytes of space free on your harddrive than you already have. For example, if you have 2gb free, and the message says that, you need to have 2.6gb free.

Disregard anything this man says, OP. He is a cunt. You're better off adapting what me and shadow west have suggested.

HDD stands for Hard Disk Drive. There isn't enough memory space on your hard drive to play the game/store save data.

Just delete some crap like music and such off your PS3 to free up some space, then try playing it.
