PS3 Unbearably Slow And Frequent Updates Getting REALLY Old

Look at the SDF "LULZ ITS YOU ITS NEVER SONYS FAULTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Pathetic.ampiva

And you are the one refusing to believe the problem could be at your end since people with slower connections download updates faster then you. Yeah I know it can't be possible the error is at your end it MUST be sony's fault :roll:

but if everything else downloaded on his connection is fast except for service from Sony, then it stands to reason that the problem lies with Sony and not with his connection? Lets not forget that lots of others have experienced his problem as well, maybe not to the same degree though.

Or maybe YOU have notconfigured the network settings correctly on the PS3. Seriously man i have a 60MB connection and patches on the ps3 download just as fast as when i update a game on the pc. Might be idea to check your network settings and configure it manually instead of having everything on automatic (which is probably the case) before blaming Sony.

I decided to put it to the test myself. I have ModNation Racers but haven't popped it in in a couple of months. I popped it in and started the update in question at 7:28. I have a 20mbps connection. It is now 7:37 and it says 78% complete. I'll let you know the total time of my update.incuensuocha

For someone who knows alot about this stuff like you like to gloat about you sure do a poor job of getting decent speeds out of your ps3 so before trying to insult someone take a good look at yourself because DMZ has nothing to do with the network settings on your PS3. Hope you learned something today.

Give it up the problem is on your end. Lots of people in this thread with slower connections have proven you wrong. So instead of wasting time here blaming Sony for something you fail at set the settings manual or stop whining like a little child and pointing fingers at the wrong people.

Done! It's 7:39 and the update is done and the MNR main screen is loading up. Total time, 12 minutes. I'm not gonna make any accusations against TC, maybe the servers were slow that day. I just wanted to compare my situation, and for me the same update took 12 minutes.incuensuocha

TC just stop they are not gonna believe you anytime i see an update for the ps3 i just throw my hands in the air and just let it download because it can never download in the background and the psn+service is sad because those are major features that most people should have but dont. But i do believe you TC but they are not gonna listen because you are attacking their system of choice.

Your problems are on your end not Sony. Is it that hard to understand?

Just because you and the people you know fail at configuring the settings on the PS3 is not sony's mistake.

the only failtroll here is you. You disagree with everyone who proves you wrong. And i'm not gonna argue with a little kid who thinks he knows something but fails at configuring his PS3 correctly :lol:

If it takes you 5 hours to download 300mb the problem is on your end simple as that end of story.

No matter how you whine about it being sony's fault it's on your end.

And please go get yourself a 360 good riddance.

Well, maybe Sony may have had overloaded servers that day, or that game has been put on the backburner by them.

5 hours for 320 MB ???
Damn son :?

The longest I ever had to wait was 30 minutes or so...

Sagem28

Even 30 mins is too long since you also have to install the patch after you download it and that's another 15-20 mins. It's crazy.

I'm going to stop making threads in SW again. Every time I do, I lost a bit more faith in humanity. :|

Mods please just lock the thread already. I'm going to post this in the official Playstation U.S. forums... or somewhere where people will actually be helpful and constructive instead of just get defensive over the love of their life, Sony.

i understand what the TC is saying. when i first got my ps3 around this time last year, the first game i got for it was littlebigplanet. when i popped it in to play there was a 4 part update that took over a half an hour to download then another 10 minutes to install. that's just ridiculous. this is one of the things xbox does much better than the ps3, updates NEVER take more than a minute or two to download.

I never understand why PS3 owners always complain about update times. Hours? Ive NEVER had a single update on XBL over 5 minutes (the new dashboard updates are the only ones that take more than 1 minute). Sonys really gotta be cutting costs in firmware hosting or whatever department that isshadow8585

Utilize google and learn how to set up your network. It's good, yes?

Messiahbolical-

If your network is set up properly then something else is wrong. Look at the others in this thread telling you how ridiculous the times you posted are. Call Sony, try wiring (as your ps3 is only 3 feet from the router), trouble shoot.

Well TC, first of all, why do you complain about fanboys? You created a thread about a PS3 issue on SW, it's obvious a lot think you're trying to bash the PS3 instead of actually having a normal discussion if you post it here instead of the PS3 board. I don't know what's wrong at you place, I don't know if there is an issue with the connection between your region and the Sony servers. All I can say is that here in the lakeland of Bern in Switzerland I can download 300MB patches with a 20 Mbps connection withing 10-15 minutes, including the MNR update. I don't have much longer for games imported from the US. I'm afraid it isn't on Sonys end if others can dl them quickly, I also don't think it's on you end (guess you do port-forwarding through you DMZ?), I guess it's somewhere inbetween, some connection between the regions that may be slow. Ever pinged the Sony website to see how long it has to react?

I have to agree with the TC on this one. I had a few buddies around last weekend to play a bit of GT5 but the mandatory updates just got in the way. We watched a movie, played some wii bowling and some Forza while the updates were downloading. Eventually, it was well over three hours after we started the process, one of my friends went home and got his ps3 which had downloaded the update earlier. I don't remember exactly how big the download was, my internet connection is nowhere near 32mb/sec and I'm not sure it took 5 hours but I want a console so I can pick up and play games when I want to play them. Just like the TC I enjoy my ps3 but when I have to wait upwards of 3 hours just to play a quick game it irritates me.

i kinda agree with TC, psn does seem to have way more updates and does take a bit longer than live. also ive been trying to add funds to my account for weeks and for some reason my credit card info STILL isnt working on psn when that exact info has been working fine for 360 ever since i got my new card....im trying to love my ps3 but they are making it difficult lol

and there goes our little kid assuming things again he knows nothing about. I'm a hermit and don't play that much on the PS3. But hey when someone not agrees with your nonsense of a problem on your own end he must be a sony fanboy. Please give it up already and learn how to configure the network settings on the ps3.

Why some people in this thread hate updates? I mean PSN is slower than my PC when it comes to updates, but it is nowhere near as bad as TC stated. Updates are a great thing people. millerlight89

updates are great, no need for hour long ones though.

they are a pain but i usually just find something else to do while the ps3 is doing its thing. with certain games though like GT5, updates are necessary because of all the stuff they are fixing and adding. its annoying though. PS3, It only does........slow downloads. sorry, had to say it

like i posted before, it was damn close to an hour when i first got my ps3 with LBP. it might have been my connection (25+ mbps), i doubt it though.

I have heard of PS3's being slow on some ISP's for some odd reason (I didn't read into it enough to find out if it was resolved) but isn't there an option to just download it on your PC then transfer it across on a USB stick or something? That or contact your ISP and see if maybe they are shaping your traffic from PSN.

When I got LBP last year it took the best part of 25 minutes updating.

There is a massive difference between XBL and PSN regarding download time. This, and the fact the 360 installs updates and demos as they download, is why I think XBL is superior to PSN.

Also because the UK PSN marketplace is a ****ing joke.

It's true and it's annoying, I notice it especially since I don't use it everyday so when I do there is almost always an update waiting. I don't understand why they don't have the updates download on the background or something. PSN needs a big overhaul in how it handles updates.

My downloads haven't taken 5h thankfully, but I suppose it's possible if the server crashes or something, but even when the download is decent speed(rarely) having to install it pretty much doubles the time, it's just inconvenient.

Your problems are on your end not Sony. Is it that hard to understand?

Just because you and the people you know fail at configuring the settings on the PS3 is not sony's mistake.

....and is it hard for you to understand that it is probably on Sony's end given the fact that everyone who complains have no problems with blazing speeds on the 360 or any other device.

So let me get this straight...

You're basically saying that all of us who know how to configure everything else on the network including the 360 somehow all of a sudden have a mental block when it comes to the ps3? SUUURRRE you're right :roll:
