I think the disc version installs a lot more data.

I bought it off the PSN store and it takes up under 3GB after having downloaded the opening movie and two track guides.

Its somewhat of a double edged sword, on one hand you have the wait time for the game to download, but on the other hand you have the increased load time and a few other benefits.

Yes, i got mine for £20 from ASDA (your walmart).

Worth every penny mate. Also, £5 under the PSN price :O

Well, knowing my luck, I'll probably end up getting it for the PSN price. >_< If it's on the US PSN right now though, I might get it. Thanks.
