Pre-load warning: Reminder to those who have and warning to those who haven't done pre-loads before.

Just a reminder, when the game unlocks it will begin a decryption process. During this process the disk space needed will be nearly or even more than double what the store page lists for required disk space. The reason for this is that as the files are decrypted the decrypted versions are written to the drive. The original encrypted files are not deleted until the process is completed, so at a point just before the process completes you will effectively have two full copies of the game on your system, one encrypted and one decrypted.

This is especially important for people installing to an SSD with limited space remaining. You're going to need to clear a lot of space before the decryption process can run.

I have over 250GB free of my HDD that the game is installed on, so I should hopefully be alright.
