Show the GB that games take up instead of it's MB

[SodaMazing]

It's hard to indicate how much space a game takes up, so instead of showing it's MB, show it's GB, here's an example:
Disk space required: 10GB
Disk space available: 420GB
Estimated download time: 2 hours at 1,024 KB/s

That sounds like a nice idea, how about being able to click the MB value, and it changes to GB? (Vice versa, as well)

How about estimating? 1000MB = 1GB. That math is so simple a first grader could do it. If it says 1500MB then it is 1.5 GB.

Indeed, learn to calculate it.

The OP's suggestion actually opens up to confusion from people who misread GB and MB, because both would have to be used then and would change depending on the game's size (+1 GB would use GB's, <1GB would use MB's)

That or you end up with games using 0.056 GB, which is just as silly.

Approximately. 1GB=1024MB.

it's 1024MB, not 1000MB, so with 24, it's pretty much hard to calculate.

1/1000 is still close enough for most games.
For a 15GB game, it's a difference of 360MB.
A lot? Depends on your connection.

But it's not hard to calculate, just add 2% (for 1020).
15*1000 = 15,000, plus 15*20=300. Now you're only off by 60MB.
Still a lot? Then you shouldn't be downloading a 15GB game in the first place.

Its close enough, anyways its bad to have to worry about that small margin, if your drive is that full it gets fragmented fast and performance suffers, and its bad for your drive, so it shouldn't be something one has to worry about in the first place. That being said if the size is under a gb it should be listed in mb not gb.
