Some games wont let you download even if you play singleplayer. If there is any online activity (updating leaderboards, recent news and such) then it counts as multiplayer and so it wont let you download.

This makes sense i guess. I would acctually feel like playing something else if i didnt lost all my save data when the fat died of ylod. Meh was so close to my second platinum, almost completing bioshock on the hardest difficulty and had almost all of the diaries. I have no interest in restarting that now -.- all my other single player games are boring!!! except sf4 and blazblue and ill assume blazblue would do the same (prefer sf4 anyway).

ugh!!!!!

I thought the downloads shut down when you load a game - you mean when you tell it to download in background right? Hmmm I didnt know this.

The thing is, even if you download during gameplay, the speed of the DL is by far very slow compared if you download it directly on the XMB and do nothing.

So for me, with my internet speed, its more practical to just download on the XMB and wait rather than download and play while waiting.

Street Fighter 4 or Super Street Fighter 4? You can't do it at all with Street Fighter 4. You CAN do it with Super Street FIghter 4 as long as you don't go on the online portion of the game. It works the same way with Blazblue, you can download as long as you don't go online.

Certain games won't let you do any background downloading.
