Does anyone else with a slow internet connection....

Does anyone else with a slow internet connection absolutely hate the PS3 with its constant updates. Just earlier this week I wanted to play Battlefield and I needed to do a system update that took nearly two hours. Now today I tried to play Battlefield 3 and I learn that there is a 758 MB update that I need to download in order to play which will take 3 hours on my connection. In all the time that I have owned my Xbox 360, I don't think I have spent more than 1 hour updating it compared to the constant long updates of the PS3.

it really does. i have a slow country DSL connection and the PS3's constant updating is a real problem for me. especially since a lot of the time the downloads fail like 60% in or whatever and i have to restart. it makes me never want to play my PS3. its why i still buy all my multiplats for 360, and almost never online for PS3 exclusives.

somehow i knew this was about the ps3 because i also have a slow internet connection.... and that last battlefield update did take forever to download until i started to play Super Mario Land 3D then it finished in no time.

3 hours for 758MB? Damn.... that's about an 8-10 minute download for me.

I'm not a fan of the constant updating, but I also think the "ps3 has 50% slower download speed" is a load of GIGANTIC bs. There is ZERO difference.

I hate the PS3 updates and I have a fiber connection. It's terribly implemented.

Fine. Negligible difference. I've had my ps3 and 360 on 3 or 4 different connections by now--there's next to no difference.

I have a fast connection, so I hardly have to wait for anything.

But I can understand people with slow download speed can hate the PS3.

I have a 20 megabit connection with a PS3, 360 and PC all connected to it. It's not like a bunch of people are pulling this out of their ass, you know, like saying there is no difference.

Where I live has the 5th slowest broadband speeds in the entire UK. Oh hell, yes.TheOtherTheoG

Yeah, I'm in the bottom 92% of the country for internet in the UK. It *ucking sucks :P

[QUOTE="heretrix"]No, it's true. At least in my case. It's not all the time, but it's certainly common enough.To say there is ZERO difference is pretty moronic considering they aren't the same network therefore there HAS to be a difference.

I can only go by my own experience, and other people that I know personally. In this instant it isn't even brought up ever, because none of us notice a difference. Things download fast enough to not even warrant a comparison.

Lucky you. In my area 3Mbps is the max there is. For me it takes like 45+ minutes.
