RE: Stupid PS3 software updates
it seems to do that on all PS3 games some are worse then others, GTA 4 takes bloody ages to update. I can see why they do it as they want the games running a lot better, but why hell does it take so long. I don't think the 360 has this same problem.

Level 55 is the top level isn't it? So you only have 15 to go. Yeah the PS3 takes up to 40 minutes to update and the longest I have waited on the 360 is not even 40 seconds lol, fuck knows what the big difference between the exact same updates can be.

I'm playing COD World at War, top level is 65 now. Think I'll be passing on the Prestige mode thing!

It is a total pain in the arse with the updates thing. TBH the only reason I switched from a 360 to a PS3 was that I use it as a media centre and the 360 sounded like a jet engine whenever it was switched on, not great for when you want to watch a film!

RE: Stupid PS3 software updates
I have a ps3 and my download are no longer than a few minutes! So 40 mins is over exagurated. And there is a diffrence with downloads ps3 uses blue ray discs so needs more to downlod(graphics and such) I had both xbox and ps3 and the xbox I got rid of cause the ps3 was amazing the graphics are great and it can play blu rays. The red ring of death was annoying to LOL. The ps3 can last years, the xbox can last nearly a year?

RE: Stupid PS3 software updates
I had a 360 from release and never had the RROD, but because it did not have a HDMI port I gave that to my little brother (with whom it is still running perfectly, so that is 3.5 years so far) and bought a newer one with my most recent Christmas bonus. And you are 110% right Shandy, it is nowhere near as loud with the newer consoles, you can barely hear it.

Plus the 40 minutes really is not bullshit, I have actually had to wait longer for some of the main PS3 updates which don't actually change much, whereas I have had to wait 12 minutes I think it was for the NXE on the 360 which changed EVERYTHING on it. The difference in games is also very debatable, with most multi-format games actually looking better on the 360 if the reviews on ign are to be believed. Plus I have like 5 mates who own 360's and about 5 that own PS3's, not one 360 has had to be replaced and one mate has had to replace a PS3 once and one has had to replace his twice, and you cannot keep the stuff saved on the PS3 because the hard-drive is internal so the twofer guy was SO pissed haha.

Don't get me wrong the PS3 is still very useful for me film-wise, like the fact it signs you out so you aren't bothered when watching a film and films like Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk really are superb on Blu-Ray. But the 360 is so much better for gaming and ridiculously more user-friendly.

wicked on the noise mas, am toying with an elite upgrade in the next few months cos i am gonna get a 1080p telly since my old telly broke and i'm futureproofing Smile

yea the NXE was nearly a whole new OS and it downloaded and installed for me in about 10 mins or so, i was suprised at how quick it was.

to be honest, i'm not getting into blu-ray for at least a year or so, and i'll just buy a blu ray drive for that seperately anyway Smile not in a rush since i can stream HD movies from my PC thru the xbox anyway Big Grin
