 though I don't know if you cant download while watching a movie (never tried to but I know you can while playing a game and I dont see the difference) I will say the installs are for people who arent connected to the internet. It's a feature not a negative.

I don't have to be connected to the internet or signed in to play the game demos I download, and they don't have to be installed to do it. So yes, it is a negative.

 

 

 i have a feeling you didnt know what i was talking about which gives me the feeling you dont know what you are talking about when address the psn.

Explain what you were talking about then.

You have to be connected to the internet to download a demo off of PSN. You can then be offline to play it. That's the same situation as Live, except you don't need to install the game at any point with Live. It's playable as soon as its downloaded, online or off.

I owned a PS3 for three months and I've used PSN extensively. It's a great service for an even better price, but it's no Xbox Live.
