The one you can browse the Internet while you are playing a game?
Hope it is true - Would be great to check Gamesfaq.com when you are stuck. |

PS3 firmware updates are more regular than the British tranport system...

"PS3 firmware updates are slower than the British tranport system..."
Fixed.
This is my real bug bear with the PS3. Why is it so slow to download and install anything? I went to play LittleBigPlanet the other day and I thought I'd download the the update (the one with the picture thing I will never use in it!) and it took ages, then to top it off I then had to update LBP! 30 minutes from start to finish!
Yesterday I got GT5p 30-40mins before I could start playing!
My xbox sitting along side it (also using WiFi) took around 10mins max to do the NXE.
Don't get me wrong apart from this the PS3 is very good but why does it seem I have to wait an age to play anything!  |

It would be great news if there was. I'm sure it is only a matter of time - and is probably the only key feature of PSN that is missing.
Fingers crossed.
Ps. Have you joined a clan yet on Killzone 2?

This is my biggest problem with the PS3 as well. both the firmware and game updates take bloody ages compared to the 360. when i went to play some COD:WaW on saturday it took me about 30 mins to download and install the update and by then my mates had given up and signed out. at least the latest KZ2 update was pretty quick.
i'd be happy if we could at least do these as background updates so we could at least do something with the machine instead of it idling for half an hour while we're just sitting there twiddling our thumbs.

Get a guitar. That's what helps me through the idle times! Either that, or throw a quick one off the wrist.

Not just me then. Maybe it's a consipiracy, as it's about the time I use my PSP! I actually considered turning the PS3 on an hour early once so it would be ready when I wanted to play! |

Whilst I was downloading Siren, I managed to learn the whole Coldplay 'Parachutes' TAB guitar book. I could have actually played live with them I was that good at it! Mind you, there are lots of things that you can do in 8 hours....

How dare we say something bad about your life support.
No one is moaning about the free update, what we are saying is that its as slow as hell.
So please ignore us loosers and go shove your dick up Sony's bottom some more. |

Not to mention that this ("My xbox sitting along side it (also using WiFi) took around 10mins max to do the NXE.") has been the only mention of a paid-for service in the entire thread...

you cant criticise free stuff.
every time theres wind of an update (making your free service BETTER) all the toss pots all come out the woodwork and talk s**t about it.
maybe you all spoiled by the far superior service of xbox live. maybe your all just spoiled brats and dont understand the meaning of 'free'.
you would think they are making the service WORSE.

whilst waiting for your download i suggest switching on the xbox 360 and play that for around 5 days and then the ps3 update should be ready! easy! lol.

I use my PS3 much more than my 360 now but downloading game updates is really starting to annoy me. i have major problems with them although everything else through the PSN is fine. I generally have to sit and restart the update about 10 times before i can get the download to work. does anyone else have this problem. |

Two points.
1. Yes you can.
2. If you honestly believe that some of the cash you spent on acquiring a PS3 didn't go into securing the PSN, you are deluded. Therefore, PSN isn't 'free', it just doesn't have a subscription.

we aren't talking s**t about it. we're saying that the updates just take too long. 1/2 an hour to update a game is just too bloody long. as i said if we could do them as background downloads it'd be fine but instead we've got (according to you) the vastly superior console sitting there doing bugger all.
if you want me to start getting really moany about it here goes, its shite that if you want to watch a film, blu-ray or dvd, it stops downloading whatever demo's your doing at the time. i started the Wanted and Legends Of Wrestlemania demo downloads on friday night and so far i've only done the wanted one because as soon as i do anything with the PS3 it stops these downloads. sure i can set it up to switch off when its finished downloading but i ain't leaving my PS3 on all night. and you can't say any of that is shite cause its all fact.

I think that problem occurs as soon as an update is made available, with so many people battering the servers at once. I tend to wait a while before I download a new update and rarely have that problem. The only time it happened to me was on Gran Turismo P. Man, that update was a real 'mare.
My last update was for Killzone 2 and it only took about 20 seconds, if that.

yeah the Killzone one only taken me a minute or 2 tops. but then again i think that was just a small file. the COD one was at least 130MB

i really miss not having party chat because i dont want to have to listen to bleeps and clicks cos of other peoples rubbish quality headsets, then if youre in a game of 32 people on killzone 2 it takes forever to mute them one by one. thats my main gripe of PSN and id have a lot more respect for it and be fighting the conrner for it more and for live to be free. apparently my friend has the official headset and is very happy with the chat quality on it so that looks like a must have purchase on payday (next tuesday) along with a different new controller for my ps3.
im in a clan but theres only me and my one mate in it lol, send me an invite and ill join, my mates tag is ZebelStu.
