As shocking as it might sound, RAGE will actually take up to 8GB of your PS3 hard drive! id Software revealed in an interview for Eurogamer that Rage will require an 8GB install, an enormous install we haven’t seen since Gran Turismo 5, while the Xbox 360 version is settled for a 3 disc release (which can, in theory, be installed to the HDD… with all of it’s 22 GBs of data).

Sony was great. Kudos to Sony for letting us do that. They don’t allow every game to do that. So definitely, hats off. What we were able to do is install all the textures to the highest level. What is nice about the PS3 platform is that it’s just one platform. Everyone has one Blu-ray drive, one hard drive, it’s all the same. Some of the other systems you have… should I install it on my 360? Should I not install it? So yes, it’s very nice.
