Well guys, I'm annoyed. It may seem a bit trivial but I'm actually really pissed off because...

My brother is downloading EVERY SINGLE THING off the playstation store that is free. This includes trailers and demos for games that we ALREADY HAVE or don't care about in the slightest, including versions of trailers in standard def and versions in high def, just... everything! He had filled up the entire 60 GB hard drive IN 3 DAYS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT!! So what's next? Well, we've got a 512 GB external drive hooked up to it, and he hasn't stopped there! He's still downloading everything off the store, constantly checking it every couple of days to download everything new. And to make matters more annoying, because its not downloading to the actual PS3 any more, therefore making background downloading impossible, there have been times when I have wanted to play a game but had to wait for a stupid damned download to finish for... I dunno... some game that I couldn't care less about!!! AND ITS REALLY!!! REALLY!!! BLEEDING ANNOYING!!

Hm... I'm just wondering what you guys think. I told a friend and he wants me to get revenge by formatting the hard drive, but then I'm not that evil. Am I overreacting? Is he being an idiot or do you think I am? Should I just let him waste time downloading all this crap which neither of us actually care about? Or should I take control and force him to stop (oh I could find a way.. I'm older than him Mwahahahah)

Just delete everything he downloads. Eventually one of you will give up.

Your brother is an idiot- delete the crap off the drive when you get the chance and have a polite "talking to" with him. ;)

Just stop everything he downloads. Then delete what he already has downloaded. Say he can only have 1 demo and 4 videos at a time on the HDD.

If it's your PS3, tell him to get his own.

If you delete it you will be a idiot too.

Just tell him 50/50

Half of disk his half yours.

So simple.

IF that doesn't stop him then sure delete it all.

1- If it's his PS3, you have no choice... you're screwed.

2- If it's your PS3, wtf are you waiting to cancel all downloads??

3- If it's both's PS3, tell him:

3.1- if he's younger, that you're gonna kick his ass

3.2- if he's older, that... you're gonna tell mom :P

BTW, what's wrong with him?? why TF is he doing that??

hahaha thanks for the feedback guys:)

You know I wish the PS3 was completely mine then I wouldn't let him DL anything (it was a xmas present though for both of us)

You bet I've complained a lot and told him stuff like 50/50ing the drive and stuff... it ain't worked yet though. I also thought of a good point if he's downloading all the free stuff on the PS3 just because he can, why doesn't he go and download every single random thing he can find off the internet for PC? Idiot. That's all I can say. I'm not giving up yet though, first I'm gona show him this thread hahhaha see what he thinks of it.

I used to download everything too. I have to get back in the habit since I swapped HDD. It's fun having a bazillion animated thumbnails with coolness playing. I also have over 500 pictures and 20 albums on there.

If he wants to download stuff on to the PS3 and you're worried about space tell him to buy a bigger internal drive for the machine. Do a backup, let him download whatever he wants, but when you want to play games play them. His downloads will pause, you can get your game on, and with a big enough HDD who cares?

Here's what you do: Delete the unnecessary items he is downloading, and then cut his fingers off.

Wow, I can't imagine how annoying that would be, whenever I download a video I'll watch it while I'm dowloading it and then I'll delete it so I have 0 videos. If he downloads everything, even movie trailers and game trailers/demos for games that you already have....um, then I guess I agree with you, he is an idiot.

Here's something weird that happened to me. I downloaded everything too. After I downloaded 20 demos on my account it wouldn't let me get anything else. I made a new account and it worked. I think there's a twenty download limit.
