Hello,

Under XMB go to Music, Video, Pictures- press triangle using your PS3 controller to see how big each file/folder is and than delete the ones that you dont need.

Also, you can upgrade your PS3 HDD using this tutorial; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkM9wiZePfs

I have a 80 gig and 2 games....i thought i could get more games than 2 on here lol....so the only other thing could be the pictures and music it downloaded onto my ps3 from my computer?

I also have a lot of music on my PS3 and it does take up a lot of space. Also check for videos that you may have downloaded. But just delete what you dont use.

I just got this ps3 tho....only 2 games saved on it...i disabled the media and still cant play ratchet and clank it says i dont have space....How can i check my ps3s harddrive...like whats on it..

Go to Settings in the XMB>>Settings>>System Settings>>System Information

RESTORE: You can also restore the PS3 to its default.

it says 64/74 gb free space on my system info....so why cant i play ratchet and clank?

And why does it say 74 i thought this was a 80 gig lol....im new just wondering

[crazy25000]

HMMM...that is strange, is the PS3 Firmware the newest one? (Not sure if this would affect it or not, but worth a shot)

Also, try restoring the PS3 defualts, see if that will work.

[smith1080p]

Ok yes i just got the update yesterday

[smith1080p]

it says 64 / 74 gb free space...shouldnt it say 80 tho since i have the 80 gig?

Alright, I searched for this and found a solution here: http://boardsus.playstation.com/play...ead.id=2419238

Basically:
1. Download a demo from the PSN Store that is at least 500mb
2. Install the demo
3. Delete the demo
4. Turn off the PS3 and than turn it back on

Also, it wont say the full size because its used by the PS3 OS (I think, but never really researched it)

thanks it said the earlier makes of the disc did that...I might just take it back and get a different copy for a different store

Ok, thats cool, hopefully you find a good copy and enjoy the game

its a glitch in ratchet and clanck .dont worry ur ps3 is ok .just delete something or move it to a flash then install the game then bring whatever u moved back .it is preferable to delete (copy )a file with similar size to the 419 mb needed .

[smith1080p]

Yeah i was just thinking about taking it to a different walmart and getting a newer copy...Hope its a good one this time
