The Last Of Us is a brilliant game – scoring 10/10 in our comprehensive (spoiler free) review. And whilst you’ll be able to grab it from retail shops next week, some might want to download the game so it’s always there on the hard drive.
Well – be warned – it’s a big one. Early reports (the game is already available to pre-order from certain PSN territories) indicate the game is 35GB in size.
The full game will use the same system the demo did, where you download a smaller initial application (approximately 200MB) and then the full game will magically download from there. Apparently this way is quicker, although that’ll depend on your internet connection of course.
Of course, there’s a chance that the final install will be smaller than 35GB – the PSN tends to double up so it can download and unpack – but given Naughty Dog’s alternative downloading method we reckon the full thing is 35GB.
Update: we’ve been pointed to the European release, which is 25GB.

After a number of hdd fails, i worry about PS3’s ability to manage large files on the hdd so i’ll be sticking with retail discs for all my ‘big’ games, i’ll probably do the same next gen too. The only large games i’ve downloaded are ones that were free with plus – and i usually delete them soon afterwards.

I downloaded Ni No Kuni which is around 22gig in about 12 hours

I did hitman absolutions (25gb) in about 4 hours in the middle of the day. It’s allot about your ISP speed. Viva Virgin BB.

Wasn’t there some jazzmatazz about you can play after DLing 25% of the game and wizardry deals with the rest whilst you go on a pan-american jaunt?
