    Is anyone having trouble downloading updates for games on the PS3?

    I've not had any problems, unless you count speed as a problem.  This is one of those things that I think xbox does better.  I've waited an hour before for a firmware update before, even NXE didn't take that long.


    Also, I'm not sure how often PSN goes down for maintenence, but it did yesterday.  Maybe that has something to do with it.

    @Out_On_Bail: for me it either works perfectly or not at all. Sadly the latter is occurs more often.

    I've never had a problem with updates downloading or installing. I don't really care about how long it takes though, I just put down the controller and make a sandwich or something.

    Mine was having issues at first.. I could connect and download maybe 15 - 35% of the update and then it would just stop and i'd lose the connection. I had to call Sony support and they basically told me to turn off the media server optpion I think.. Everything seemed to work fine after that. Updates and installs take long though!

    Might be worth throwing the PS3 in the DMZ on the router if you haven't already.
