Downloading movies from PSN is slow.

So finally tried out the movie service on PSN. Its been over two hours and not done yet. I could wait for movie to download. But does that defeat the purpose of downloading movies? After this experience. ill just stick to Net flix.

Maybe your internet is slow, when I download stuff it's uber fast.

Yeah it took over 3 hours for me to download Watchmen in HD when I rented it a couple months ago. The file was almost 9GB though so I guess its not really that surprising it took that long.

I download movies from PSN is 10 mins max. I have verizon fios. So maybe a higher speed internet is the way to go.

For some reason movies download slower than games though they might be same file

Oh wait a second. Did you just call me a fanboy? You have no idea who I am and what I own so who are you to make hasty judgements about me?

I downloaded the HD version of Trick r Treat from psn last night. It only took about 20 minutes for the full download and i was able to start watching after about 10 minutes.

I changed my mind. I forgive you. Clearly you're new here and don't know anything so say what you want. Maybe you will see the errors of your ways during your stay at the PS3 gamespot forum. Welcome.

I just checked my speed.And its almost 20 mbs. Who is to blame? PSN or ISP?

At my other house in the city my Internet connection is alot faster. I think around 40 MB/S when downloading.

If you are DLing a movie that is 9gig on PSN in 3hrs consider yourself lucky. That is fast compared to when I DLed a movie on my pc "torrent" and it took like 4 days.

So anyone complaining about 3hrs is a tad dramatic. I personally dont care about the movies on PS3 or 360. I would rather just go buy the movies at walmart for less or not much more and actually own them.

When I download a movie I give it a5 minute head start and then I can watch it no problem.

Obvious troll.

You would think that "Net Flix" would set of some alarms.

Nono..I wasnt really talking to you..I was more agreeing with you..lol..sorry for the mixup

I haven't rented a movie on PS3 yet, but can't you watch it while it's downloading? Say 25% of the movie is downloaded, can't you start watching it and it will continue to download? I know you can on XBOX 360.

Your ISP. 20 mbs will take you a while to download things even if u are connected via ethernet cord.
