PSN is the slowest. Ever.

I'm sitting here on my couch with my laptop.. and man... I'm downloading the 394mb Ridge Raver 7 demo..... it's ben ABOUT 10 minutes and it's at 8%.... Seriously, what kind of garbage is this? I'd have this thing downloaded on XBL completely by now. And don't go saying my connection sucks, because it DOESN'T.

This really isn't acceptable.

To be perfectly honest.... If I had the chance, I'd take my 650$ back and wait for a price drop and some GAMES than keep this vaporware console. Sorry if this sounds kinda biased, I'm just irritated that I paid so much for something that is flat-out boring... This is the first time I'v booted up my ps3 in easily a month, and other than 2 demos and fl0w, there isn't much different.

Are you sure your internet isnt slow?Hammerofjustice

So, now I guess I have to sit here on the internet while I wait for this to download, seeing how I can't do anything else. If I wanted to play the 360 or wii, I'd have to unplug the ps3's component wires, find the other ones on the floor behind my entertainment stand, and plug those it. and I'm way to lazy for that right now, so I'll just sit here and destroy the ps3 fanboys delusion of the ps3 being flawless.

I need a GOOD switchbox/source selecter, btw.... *sigh*

Or a new TV. This one sucks. Samsung LN-S3251D Don't ever buy it. The HDMI isn't compatible with the ps3 and it causes some bugs.

I'll get my money back from samsung if it's the last thing I do.... because it SHOULD work fine. That's false advertising.

Demos like that always download slow. The Crackdown demo for me took a while.BigB10123

I guess it sounds like I'm contradicting myself because I said it sucks, then I say it's nice.... It's a good set.... I'm just mad about the HDMI issue.... I mean, I want that resolved, pronto, and Samsung has been playing monkey in the middle with me.... With the cash I spent on this samsung 720p/1080i set, I could get a 32'', or even slightly larger, 1080p set with a less popular brand-name.TripleXAlexXx

I downloaded ridge racer in a little less than 1 hour, Wi-Fi with SBC yahoo DSLEidog

Agreed. I would of made a post as well, but didn't feel like getting barked at by cows. The motorstorm demo, GTHD, and F1 demo all took about 30-40 minutes to download plus install. It would of took half the amount of time on Xbox Live...

Yeah I had HDMI problems (and vertical banding issues) with my 42 inch 1080p Sharp Aquos LCD (crazy holiday sale $2900 CND) . I ended up bringing it back to Centre Hi Fi and exchanging it for a 40inch Sony Bravia 1080p LCD (on sale $3400 CND). The HDMI works fine most of the time but even on this Sony I'll have to reset my HD digital cable box every so often to get it to recognize my HDMI cable.

HDMI is so overrated and it honestly has tons of problems.

Its weird my girlfriends brothers PS3 downloaded demos within 30 minutes but on my friends PS3 it takes about an hour for a demo to complete, they have the same connection speed:?

So yea dont bash the TC hes most likely telling the truth.

what even worste is that you Can't do anything else while downloading a demo on PSN .....what a shame :( !Prid3r

I heard they were gonna fix that....thank god.

My RR7 demo which started at 12:15 EST has finished at 12:42 EST. It took a total of 27 minutes. In other words, some people have better internet connections then others.echelon

The downloads are very slow. I have cable internet with 100% connectivity, and it's awful. The 360 is faster.BioShockOwnz

It depends on how many people are accessing that download as well. i have 10Mbs cable and it took me 5 hours to download the crackdown demo over XBL.jigglebilly1983

Holy Crap!
