Derek French (aka Crushbug) points out in this Blues News comment that things like the disk-space requirements are based on their test builds and there’s a good chance that localised installs without things like additional languages will undoubtedly be significantly smaller…

For clarity, the 20 Gig is a broad number to cover that fact that the data isn’t quite final at this time, isn’t specific to the language installed, and allows for save games, screenshots, and other content.

Currently, the English install is sitting at 15.5 Gig, but that number could change.

Hilarity ensues!
