how long did it take to download your free games?

finally got into the store, downloading LBP and as of now its guna take about 6 and a half hours

how long did it take for your games?

Only took me about an hour or so to download Wipeout HD & Superstardust. I'm also downloading Ratchet & Clank right now (3+ gig), that one is about half way done after about 45 minutes. Not too bad for how congested the downloads are supposed to be.

downloaded Dead Nation, Ratchet and Clank, Burnout Paradise, Magic the Gathering and Infamous 2 demo in 2 hours.

Not counting the time I spent trying to get into the store, it too me maybe a little over an hour to DL my two free games.

Around three hours per 1.0-1.5gb game.

1 hour for LBP and 50 minutes for Dead Nation

around 10-15mins each for wipeout hd bundle and dead nation.

About 15 minutes for Wipeout.

Haven't even decided what my other download will be yet.

2 and a half hours for infamous and about 20 minutes to half an hour for dead nation.

They gave us a pretty crappy selection to choose from. I already have LBP 1 and I'm bored of it, I've already played, beaten and sold Infamous, and the rest of the free games are just plain boring.

30 days free of Playstation plus? Meh, any of the games I get with my plus account will be gone after my 30 days runs out. And it's not worth it to continue paying.

I am disappoint.

It took me 10+ hours to download Infamous. I left it on overnight. Mau-Justice

Me too. It was done by this morning.

1 hour for both Infamous and LBP

like half an hour for dead nation, and same for the psp games

Honestly, don't really know. I started the DL 30 minutes before I headed off for work. 9 hours later, the games were completed & ready to be installed on my PS3. I was running Folding@Home while letting Infamous & Dead Nation DL in the background. Killed 2 birds with 1 stone so to speak! :P

Wipeout and Stardust took around 30 to 45 minutes for both.

how long did it take for your games?

infamous 1hr, dead nation 15mn, and both my psp games 30min. so around 12gb in 1hr 45mins not to bad it was downloading movies off psn store that are slower than heck 1 gb an hour pathetic!!!!!

about an hour and a half for LBP and Infamous. Downloaded Dead Nation and Wipeout HD yesterday (thank you future roommate for having an account on my PS3) lol.

How exactly can you set your ps3 to turn off after downloading? That way I can download stuff overnight and be ready to go tomorrow.Would appreciatte any tips

My recommendation would be to run Folding@Home while the games are DLing in the background. There is a setting on Folding@Home to have it turn off automatically, at your own preference of course. It's truly a no-brainer plus you get to contribute to medical research for a good cause! To run Folding@Home you need to access "Life at Playstation" & go from there. I hope this helps!

about 1 hour for Dead Nation and Wipeout HD, haven't downloaded the DLC yet

infamous took over 15 hours , LPB took 6H approx.

Ty for the info, i will try it out next time

I'm downloading inFamous right now and it's at 30-something percent. After 2 days.

2. Days. Horrible, ain't it? I'll update you guys when I finish, probably after nearly a week or something.

-sigh-

1 hour for both Infamous and LBPBakedDank420

You're joking right?

You're saying it took you 60 minutes to download10 gigs of data? That's a speed of 2.7 MB/sec ... can the PSN servers even UPLOAD that fast?

I mean, don't get me wrong ... for most us with broadband the limiting factor will definitely be how fast THEIR servers can upload, but it seems hard to believe that with so many people DLing that PSN can even send data that quickly.

Can you stop the download and turn off the system, and then resume again the next day? Or does it not support that?

If so, what happens if you get a temporary dropout or loss in connection/power? Those things are quite common, I hope you are able to resume downloading and not have to start from the very beginning ...

I don't understand how it could take some people 20+ hours and some people under one hour to download the SAME amount of data from the SAME place.

If everyone is on broadband (which unless I'm mistaken, you HAVE to be), then the limiting factor here should be the PSN servers and their upload rate, which should be roughly the same for everyone, should it not?

I can understand if some people were on broadband and others were on dial-up or downloading from different servers, but why would there be such large variations in the speed?

All broadband connections should be capable of very fast download speeds, so however fast Sony's servers can transfer data right now should be what determines how long it takes, should it not?

This is only the download times, not the install. I downloaded these yesterday.

inFamous 1 hour

LBP 20-30 minutes

Dead Nation 15 minutes

Wipeout HD 15 minutes

25mb/s down

inFamous 1 hour

25mb/s down

At that speed, shouldn't inFAMOUS only have taken you under 5 minutes?

At any rate, it's good to know that there are people that are getting very high rates of data exchange. Hopefullymy connection will allow for that.

We only have the lowest speed our provider can give, so yeah. It's such a hassle.

Took about an hour and a half to download both Wipeout HD and inFAMOUS.

I've been dowloading Infamous for the past two and a half hours... It's at 36%, it'll probably take awhile.

My connections kind of slow too... Oh great, this could really take awhile.

Took me 2 days to download Infamous.... @ about 76kb/s
