Upcoming PlayStation Network title Record of Agarest War may sound tempting to fans of strategy RPGs, but if you've got a 20GB system (or even a 60GB system), you may want to be careful.

Why? Because a representative from the game's North American publisher, Aksys Games, has revealed that the download-only title will be between eight and ten gigs in size. That's one hell of a big download.

Won't be a problem for anyone with a more recent system (80, 120, 250), but man, an 8-10GB download...it doesn't seem so long ago Microsoft were trying to keep online games under 50mb.

I think this game would be better sold boxed on a Blu-Ray disk with an instruction book. 10GB truly is one big download, something that'll take quite a while to come in for sure. Unless of course, it's some sort of bid to prevent second-had sales.....

If that's the case, than I REALLY hope that it doesn't become a trend.

...so with a 2gb fair usage policy, it will only take 5 months to download. EPIC FAIL!

10 GB? Bring it on! I am looking forward to the point where psn is just as successful as steam... complete with the sweet deals.
