But I've heard a lot of people say that Ridge Racer is small. Like around a measly 5MB. Now you say its 400MB. What's the truth of the matter?

Alls I know is that SONY better get the games smaller. My 2GB Ultra II stick is packed to the MAX. And even when I get the 4GB, that space will be quickly used up as well.

To make it work, SONY needs to add value and ease of use. Storing the games on the PS3 hard drive is definitely a plus, but I can't imagine getting excited over downloading 400MB + files just to play a PS1 game.

If SONY can manage to add a Location Free WiFi feature to play stored PS1 downloads from any hotspot, that would be the ultimate push to update to 3.00. I still wouldn't personally, but I could see many people taking the plunge and committing homebrew genocide over such a feature.

Yep, I have a totally ripped Ridge Racer at 4.5 meg I think. No music as all, I mean, what's the point?

In my eyes to play a game, you really need to play a game. Imagine FFVII with no music and no FMV?
Horrible thought in'it

Who knows, maybe sony has better compression tools than they did back in the last generation.... really REALLY good compression tools that turn these 400+ megs games into 20 or 30 megs.

So am i my converted from origianl psx games.

well i dont know but you have to be doing something wrong because ridge racer with just the data is 6 meg-ish. perhaps your not converting the original ridge racer? i dunno. i didnt think to check how big it would be with the music however. sigh no matter.

They must have something up their sleves.

There is no way these games are going for $5, how much would that cost in web space for the whole collection (7000 did I read somewhere?) at an average of 450meg.

Like you say, who knows
