Prototype install errors, solution inside

For anyone getting error messages when trying to install their new copy of Prototype for their PlayStation 3, Activision support has provided a temporary workaround while we wait for a patch via the PlayStation Network to fix the problem once and for all.
The issue occurs when your PS3 indicates you have insufficient hard drive space, even if you know you have more than enough room. You’ll have to change the amount of space on your hard drive by 700MB. You can do this by installing another PS3 game, downloading a game demo, removing downloadable content, or adding/removing music or movies from your hard drive.
The goal is to change the available hard drive space - try different variations. Once you’ve made the changes, try installing Prototype again. If you still cannot install the game, we recommend you contact Activision support.

Sounds like the same sort of thing Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction had on release too. Not too big of a drama, just needed to install something else.

Game install still happen because people USE the Harddrive for what it was meant to be used for: GAMES. It's not just there to look pretty.
As for how the error happened, it's clearly not happening to everyone, in some cases it would seem to be a very random error since no one has the same size harddrive depending on what you have installed or stored. Just the fact that they discovered changing the content of the drive would fix it seems incredibly lucky. it is a stupid error but atleast it's one with a fairly easy work around.
