Based on the fact that not many people have won the Million on "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?," I'd have to say probably not.

There's a difference in megabytes?

Fun fact. I believe it was the IEC that tried to disambiguate the capital and lower case naming of bits and bytes measurement by introducing the -ibibyte semantic (MB = MiB). So a Gygabyte became a Gibibyte, etc. It was endorsed worldwide by standards institutes, but It never became common.

I'm sure that has to be the classic Monty Python skit even without following the link. Isn't it a pity they don't teach the classics in school anymore? (I'm not referring to teaching in the classroom but in the boys restroom where all the best off-color jokes were passed down from class to class of schoolboys.) :D

I'm just surprised there is someone who hasn't seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Yeah, its a shame really. I just haven't been able to find it yet, even though I really do want to see it. And the px's over here only have a limited selection. Once I get internet in my room I'm going to see about downloading it.

I prefer the 'flying circus'.

Anyway, i remember one of the Devs mentioning something around that the text/ dialog of F/SN. Or something like that. Some maybe what ever side that game is, might give an indicator of how large it is...maybe....i dunno.

Also you can get a decent external hard drive for about 70 bucks, so even if the game is larger then available space. You can put some of your stuff/ the game on there.

I'd say the problem for the vast majority of people would be download times and not HD space, since not everyone has a fast connection. But everything can be solved with a download manager that allows resuming.

Considering how cheap memory sticks are now, you could easily pay $10 for 4GB and play your game from that. Just be sure to back up the save file on the root drive.

This is actually how I did it the first time. A 4 gig stick is ludicrously cheap.
