Hey guys, I purchased Gran turismo 5 yesterday and im getting so peeved off with it already:@ starting to remember why I stopped playing the PS3 and stuck to the xbox.

So yesterday after buying the game I put it and was straight away told I needed a 600MB update. After numerous attempts at getting the playstation not to drop out half way through downloading and realising I couldn't install from USB memory stick, I got all my AV equipment out and plugged an ethernet from the PS3 to the router and downloaded the updates.

Anyway, once the update had finished it said would you like to install the game, it will require something like 6GB of space and will reduce load time (THANK GOD!) so I set it to install and once it had finished turned off the PS3.

Anyway, go to fire up GT5 today and am greeted with a message saying that there is insufficent HDD space, a bug that was supposedly fixed by this patch released on 18th Feb but it just seems that installing the game has caused this problem.

Can anyone help me out as I really dont want to delete my GT5 just to download all again (and probably have the exact same thing happen again)

Cheers,

Tom
 
Don't mean this in a silly way but have you checked the space on ur HDD?
 
yeah, Ive got an 80GB model and GT5 is the only game I have on there:(
 
Hmmm I'm not sure then sorry...I knew the problem was related to the museum cards but I didn't really get to that. I'm not sure what it could be
 
I'm not the most technical guy in the world- for example, I use macbook and OS X not PC and Windows- but PS3 (and GT5) can't get any easier. Like you GT5 is the only game I have on the PS3 (and it's the only game I play) and ever since I got the game last xmas, I haven't had an issue. My suggestion if you can't do it yourself is to have a friend look at it. Maybe it's something simple that you might've overlooked.
 
You must have other stuff on there... I've got MGS4 and GT5 (the only games I'm interested in on PS3) and a shed load of music files.

Tons of room left on my 120Gb HDD despite both games being fully installed.
 
nope, was just poor game design. You'd have thought with all the time they spent making GT5 that it would have been right from the start. Not full of glitches that delete peoples game saves!

anyway, the issue seems to be that if you update straight from 1.0 to 1.6 without the game installed it goes a bit do-laly (though probably only if you install the second bit that comes after the patch)

my fix was to delete all update data and installed bits, and then load the game up with internet turned off and install, and then download the patches again and install the second bit and it appears to work fine (for now)
 
I sense a bit of a troll, But it's certainly not GT's fault that you didn't check your HDD Space, and clear out older Game Data Utilites or unused Pictures/Music/Videos.
And if you've downloaded and installed the 1.6 Update and played the game, Then it says that, It's other stuff on your HDD.
 
no I just find it amazing how glitches like this are in a game that took so long when many similar games have no such issue.

and no the issue was nothing to do with Hard drive space as I had over 70GB free, it just appears that a glitch hasnt been removed that I noticed people were reporting with 1.05 which is that if you dont install the game and then download the update (and then possibly do the install notice that comes up after the update) the insufficient space error comes up.

luckily everything seems to be working now so can finally enjoy the game:)
 
Glad you got it sorted :) welcome to GT5!!

Im sorry I cant help this. But the OP needs to get real. Or just go back to the Xbox if thats suits you better. Fact is this is the best racing game available on the PS3 PERIOD. So there were a few glitches. Theres hasnt been anything wrong with the game even coming close to ruining my or my friends enjoyment of the game. So you had a little bit of a technical issue, woke up your 5 year old self and decided to tell everyone how rediculous this game is and threaten to go back to XBOX. GET A LIFE!
 
So the problem is resolved - good. :)

However I see some flames and I can smell smoke.:ouch:
Closing this thread before anything untoward happens.
