Tsk Tsk: PS3 Version of Prototype has Install Bug — Here’s a Workaround
Some of you bought Prototype for the PS3 and some of you are now enjoying playing it. But some of you got a message saying there’s not enough room on your hard drive when you try to install it — Even though you know for sure it has!
Bummer, right? If you are one of the unlucky persons who encountered this bug, Activision says they are working on a proper fix but in the meantime here is a workaround directly from their support team:
If your PS3 tells you that you have insufficient hard drive space to install, even if you do, you are going to need to change the available space on your hard drive by 700 MB. This can be done in a number of ways including the following:
- Installing or uninstalling another PS3 game that allows hard drive installation.
- Downloading game demos.
- Removing downloadable content.
- Adding / removing MP3’s or movies from the hard drive.
- Etc.
Once you have made the necessary change to your Hard Drive space insert the Prototype disc back into your PS3 and it should now install.
The goal of this is to change the available space on the hard drive. You may need to try a combination of any of the above suggestions.
Lame, right? Ok — I’ll add my own workaround for it:
Srsly.
