The update game is the defining experience of my PS3 experience
They pretty much fixed that shit best they could with PS Plus, but the fact that you have to -pay- for it... *snort*
I had a sweet session earlier.
Go to store to redeem Metal Gear Rising DLC code, wait for store to update. A few minutes.
Start up Metal Gear Rising, get "you must be on newer firmware to play." 20+ minutes later it's done.
Start up Metal Gear Rising, again, game has a patch. A minute or two.
Start up Metal Gear Rising, again, again, game has a 2+ gig install*. About 10 minutes.
*Back of the box lies and says it only needs a 400kb install. I read it earlier so I didn't have to run into this mess when I wanted to play.
