    I bought this game at 9:30am from my local GAME store and couldn't wait to put it in my PS3. So eagerly, with all the thrill of a child on the E numbers from the blue Smarties, I put it in my PS3 at precisely 10:00am; after clearing space on my 60Gb PS3 for the hefty 25.5Gb suggested on the back of the box. Yet I thought, 'If that's what DCUO wants, that's what DCUO shall have'. 
    So the first update from PSN at 113Mb comes and goes in the space of about 30 minutes, a bit of a long time, but hey, it's just been released today. Then I get onto the game itself, and an 11Gb download comes along, and I'm expecting a good 3 hour wait (I have crappy broadband). But alas, in just under 40 minutes, this download had passed. 
    'Amazing servers', 'SOE know exactly what they're doing' and 'Why doesn't Batman have a bulge?' were just some of the questions which crossed my mind as I awaited, what I had presumed to be, a 5 minute, 2Gb download. 
    That was at about 11:30am this morning, but here I am, a good 12 hours later, and the 2Gb download is only at 20%. 
    I'm sad and angry.

    And I'll never be Wonder Woman's bitch. 
     
     
     
     
     
     
    So.......anyone else from the UK suffering from the same problem?

    It sucks, I waited for Marvel Online Universe, for it to get cancelled. I played COH/COV and loved it. I put my free 30 day subscription on and I'm now down to 29 days with nothing to show for it.

    Well, the 11 gigs was an install from a disk, not a download. If the 113mb patch took 30 minutes to download, 2 gigs would take a LOT longer. Crappy broadband + MMO launch day = massive wait.

    I thought I saw it say downloading was all....oh well. 
    I'll just leave it overnight and hopefully be done when I get in from work tomorrow!
