Hard drives are like arteries -- when they're clogged, you've got a problem.
Are you a big baseball fan? If so, it might be time to upgrade your hard drive. When our review copy of MLB 09: The Show floated into our mailbox today, we were a bit disappointed to discover that it, like so many other recent games, has a mandatory 5GB install. While installs often benefit loading times and game stability, it's no fun when you have to delete other media, downloadable games, and other content to make room for a new install. We certainly wouldn't mind having one of those 500GB HDDs handy right now.
Stay tuned for our upcoming MLB 09: The Show review.

This is the one I got last week .
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001JSSDGU
It's 500 gigs to and it's a lot cheaper than the one they refer you too.
Anyone curious about how to install here's a video from IGN. Very easy.

total bs that a sports game requires an install. i can gurantee you that this pushes absolutely no boundaries. yet here is this is install; its just just programmers being lazy. LAME... i'll still get the game though
This will permanently ban this user and delete all associated comments. This action is irreversible, are you SURE you want to do this?!
