Yeah the load times are ridiculous on the PS3. It is beyond annoying. I actually avoid plugging my PS3 into the internet most of the time because of the hours and hours of wait time just to play a game. Good thing I mostly play storyline games on my PS3. Anyways it still does have good games regardless of it's OS issues and it's updating and download times.  You should of started out with MGS4 or Uncharted.

You either have shitty internet speeds or are lying. I have the slowest speed (3mb/s) my provider provides and waited 100sec for GoWA updated.


No im not lying.  My xbox takes like 5 - 10m max for an update while my WiiU and PS3 takes l;ike 1 - 3 hours.  This is actually pretty well known issues.  It doesnt stop the PS3 from having great games.  It's alright for consoles to have cons dont you know?

It is slower. But no way it's as slow as you say it is in the last 2 post. Over exaggerating is still lying.

No Im actually not exaggerating.  Even XBLA games install for me around 30m to an hour compared to 1-3 hours on PS3.  It doesnt stop me from playing my PS3 but is an annoyance that I hope they have fixed with the PS4.




       

So wait, let me get this straight...

You returned an entire console...

Because you tried to download a 1 hour, 12 GB TRIAL with several 1+ GB updates, and it didn't download fast enough for you?

That sounds like a you issue sir. This has absolutely nothing to do with the console at all.

It was EA's large game trying to download on your internet's shitty download speed.

I downloaded DC Universe online in 3 hours, and that is a WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY bigger download than Battlefield 3.

This may very well be the dumbest reason I have ever heard for returning a console. Returning a console because your friends have another console and you want to play with them, Is a legit excuse.

This is just dumb dumb.



...uhh...ill just put my favorite quote of all time here.

"Welcome to Pain, the second of three...You have dealt the first...now deal with me!!"

Sad to see a ps3 didnt wok out for you. I do have to say that a 10 hour download of a 12 GB game sounds very strange. The only time I have noticed my download slowing down is when I am playing games.


You're lucky. I pay for the fasted internet speed available in my area and a 12gb download would probably 3-4 days of constant download time. I do not look forward to a digital only future. UPS is faster than my internet.

Denial is just as bad as lying. Read the bolded parts.

How fast is your internet and where do you live? I live in Milwuakee and get the 3mb/s for 25$ a month which is the slowest

Jesus, Max, that's the slowest? Let us not compare then the 1 mb/s for 40 euros/month in Spain then. :(



"I would've probably kept the Wii U"

Or returned it the next day after you saw the immediate updates required.
