Okay, I have done some "research" and I think this is connected to te way how patches are distributed on the PS4. There are no individual patches in the sense of Patch 1 + Patch 2 + Patch 3..., but only one huge file. When a patch is provided, the system now counter-checks all files on the PS4 with the "one size for all" patch file on the server. This is the "Preparing download" phase of the download. This is also the reason this often takes so much time, since checking 31 Gb of patch data on the really slow 5400 rpm HD of the PS4 takes its time. After that, it only downloads those parts from the huge patch file that are actually needed. This is not a bad thing per se, since it allows to update from any version to any version without problems and it allows to repair any messed up installation without having to download the whole game/DLC. I guess the problem is that in this case, that the patch system needs at least twice the space it actually requires, because it downloads the patch file, unpacks it and then later deletes the packed file. Which would [i]also[/i] be no problem, but since the DLCs for Destiny are handled and distributed like patches and are also in the patch file, hence the size of 31+ Gb. And apparently in this case the system will not even start the process of counter-checking the local files against the patch file, since it just demands free space on the HD of twice its size right from the start, just in case. Which is indeed stupid, because when I have to constantly keep between 60 Gb and 80 Gb of my HD free, just for patches, then I really have no 500 Gb HD, have I? The system should do the counter-check and then decide how much HD space it needs. This is really ridiculous. And just as a sidenote... what is really bugging me is that the bloody system is not even telling you how much space you need for the whole process to start. Just the message "Delete unnecessary content", which is ridiculous in itself. So all my other games are "unnecessary", hm? And on what basis should I decide what to delete? With the last patch it was relatively easy, since I've deleted The Division, which I was not playing anymore anyway. But this time? I really could not tell what to delete. I have a couple of games with huge install files, which I really do not want to delete, since I am still playing those games and I have a couple of smaller games with a file size between 500 Mb and 5 Gb and I would have to delete all of them. Honestly, this crap needs to be fixed. And we all know that this will never happen.
