500MB Limit For PS3 Downloads
John Hight, director at Sony Computer Entertainment Santa Monica, recently said in an interview with FiringSquad that the download limit for the PS3 is 500MB. Hight said,
We’ve arbitrarily set a limit of 500MB to keep download times reasonable. Since we’ve got plenty of HD space we can accommodate even bigger games and a lot of them.
The Xbox 360 currently has a 50MB limit of space regarding Xbox Live Arcade downloads. The PlayStation 3 has a whopping 500MB, which is 10 times as much as the Xbox Live Arcade service has. Microsoft’s downloading policy is in place so gamers who don’t have a hard drive can fit downloaded games on their 64MB memory card. Both versions of Sony’s PS3 included hard drives, so this isn’t a problem at all. This gives Sony the ability to give gamers more larger downloads than Microsoft.
