wait what!? There was an update 2 days ago!? I didnt get a notification!?

Edit: Oh crap, thats why I didnt notice it! I've been playing Uncharted racking up any missed trophies so I never really bothered trying to go online, so I never got a notification :P

I agree 100% everytime I go to play a quick game I have to sit and wait for 30 minutes for an update...it wouldn't be as bad if it was like the 360 which takes secondschikenfriedrice

If these updates went quickly, I ould have less of a problme with them. This last one took 45 minutes to download and install. That is time that I can't play games, and my video game time is limited (I have a job and family). Unless there is something unstable in the firmware (see v2.40) I would rather they just give us impactful quarterly updates.

And for those who are going to tell me its just my interent connect, get a better one: My XBOX360 downloads things lickty split, and I have no lag or problems onlnie gaming with either system...its only downloading on my PS3 that is the equivalent of bamboo shoots under the fingernails...expalin that one!

Still not as nice as the xbox 360 updates :P Bigger updates, takes 30 seconds, don't have to do download, then go through the install. Does it all extremely fast.

download the update on your PC. It literally takes about 2 minutes max. And this is on my parents crappy internet connection which goes 2megabits.II_Seraphim_II

lol the updates take like 5 minutes max

I really didn't need a better Photo Gallery. I didn't care much for the "Internet Search" button, the scroll bar that tells me "What's New", or the new arrangement of friends on your list. However, there ARE things I LOVED!! Divx and WMA compatibility, a better web browser, playlists for mp3s, trophies, Video downloads in the store with better design for navigation, Home, Remote Play, increased friend list threshold to 100, Power Save settings, and much more that doesn't just pop into mind.

The writer seemed overly opinionated and somewhat cynical to me. To say you admire Sony's commitment with frequent updates and then disregard their importance is also quite, well, dumb. The point is that the PS3 is growing as a console. Before this generation, no console has done that, and now we're complaining about it?

I also don't agree with the writer of the article AT ALL when he says that previous consoles only released if they deemed themselves to be bug free. I am SO happy that today I don't have to blow into my NES cartridges and tap the reset and power buttons repeatedly to make my games work, that I don't have to keep buying peripherals to make my Sega Genesis better, or more recently, that I don't have to send my system to Microsoft and wait for over 3 weeks cause my 360 gave me a Red Cirle light which happened to so many people we gave it a name "Red Ring of Death".

There was another article that a friend pointed out to me that pointed out Sony's shortcomings for 2008. It said that one of the things Sony should do is get rid of Home. On the same day, Gamespot eported to us that, from users alone, Home generated $1,000,000 by week three and that's not including the fees that companies are paying to advertise in the space. I bring this article up to make this point:

When someone is offered something for free (as an option) and they say "No", you can start disregarding any of their future opinions.

it's still alot and i mean alot slower than xbox live updates, call of duty i have for both, and the update for ps3 took like a minute and the one for 360 took literally less than a second, not the mention the ps3 also has to go through the install process. It doesn't really bother me, but knowing that it should be much faster is sort of annoying, as there really is no excuse for why it takes longer, especially game update downloads.

OMG NOT ONE MINUTE! Whatever will we do?RuinedMachine

it's principal, tell me why psn is pretty much 100% slower than xbox live? I don't mind the updates, but it is alot slower, so whatever this doesn't really have a point lol.

Yeah, I agree. They're too frequent and most add minor features. A photo gallery for PS3? Really, Sony? Quarterly updates at this point would be fine.bez2083

1. We haven't Had one for a while. 2. On the psblog under the news about psps new update there where people asking for a ps3 update so sony is doing what its fans want. 3. your statement about the length and frequency of the updates is bull and I question if you really have a ps3.

Why is everyone complaining about updating their PS3? Sell it if it's such a hassle to download an update that takes a few minutes at most to download.... >_>_Brennan_
