Title: psn is such a poop
Post by: brob on April 04, 2012, 05:05:31 PM: tryna download some games but it's so annoying having to go through all these menus to see what is even available. From what I can tell neither Killzone 2 or 3 is available for download, nor any Lost Planet, etc. All these B-tier games I'd love to buy on a drunken impulse for $40~ish.

bought Dead Space 2, hoping to have some fun in a 1000 minutes time.

Also bought Virtua Fighter 4 Evo, Godhand and Journey.

I know that a lot of people are experiencing slow speeds, but I thought that was a regional thing. IIRC, we're both from the same country.

Post by: brob on April 04, 2012, 05:30:18 PM: maybe they ain't. but it only strikes out against my ps3 if that is the case. I haven't messed since I set it up and it worked fine around the launch of Dark Souls.

Post by: archnemesis on April 04, 2012, 05:32:41 PM: Well, on a good day I get ~10 MB/s from Steam and ~5 MB/s from the PSN. For some reason downloads on my Vita are slow as hell, but I haven't tried those new patches yet.

Post by: brob on April 04, 2012, 05:34:21 PM: My psp go would time out when I tried to download directly through it (persona 3 portable). I blame sony, not my technological handicap. :maf

Still branded as PSN on PS3s for some reason.

Title: Re: psn is such a poop
Post by: cool breeze on April 05, 2012, 02:14:58 AM: yeah, psn is really slow.

typically Steam and Origin download at ~2 megs a second. can't measure it on my iphone or 360, but both are pretty fast. anything playstation and my 3ds (can't remember wii) make me feel the internet; I'm spoiled by all the instant streaming and quick downloads. You have games hitting 11+ gigs on PSN, meaning you'll leave your PS3 on all day to download it. At least the Vita has a standby download option, as does the 360 and 3DS.

Post by: MrAngryFace on April 05, 2012, 02:25:09 AM: 360 dls are waaay faster tho
Title: Re: psn is such a poop
Post by: brob on April 05, 2012, 03:02:34 AM: left it on overnight. 43%.

thankfully it's looking better today, as I'm already at 60% after just making coffee.

edit: installing now, playstation is such a shit bucket.
