SlappingOysters writes: One of the biggest challenges for gamers during this generation of consoles is ensuring you have enough hard drive space to hold the latest blockbuster. Given that every game needs to be installed in order to be played, and games often weigh in at over 40GB, the 500GB of storage that comes as standard doesn't stretch far. Finder.com has provided a handy resource, listing the install sizes for every PlayStation 4 game (460 and counting) and every Xbox One game (290 and counting). The list is searchable, and can be ordered.

Why don't games just come on special SSDs? They could have two chips, one containing original game data and that chip is set read only after production, the other larger and read/write one contains updates and save data and then unionfs the two together so writes automagically go to the read/write larger one. Then you could just insert the SSD in a special cartridge so its easy to insert into and remove from the console!
