    I would see myself saying that not long ago, but now a 50GB game is nothing unusual.

      True, but you’re limited in many, many ways before the SSD. Downloading the game? Network bottleneck. Playing the game? GPU/CPU bottleneck. (Not to mention, if a game is attempting to access multiple gigs of stored data every second, there’s likely something wrong with that game.)

      Installing the game, absolutely. But you only do that once, and I doubt you’re installing a 500GB game daily.
