The ridiculous mandatory software updates.  Every time I get a new game (new to me in some cases) I sit down wanting to try the game out only to find that there is a 500MB-1GB update that has to be downloaded first.  I love to play video games, not stare at an update screen for 30 minutes.  I own a lot of PS3 games, Wii games, Wii U games and Xbox 360 games.  The PS3 updates are by far the worse of all of them. 

Not being a huge fan of Gran Turismo, I just picked up a used copy of GT5 and thought I’d give it a try....instead I’m sitting here waiting for a 608MB update to download and install.  I’ve timed some of these in the past and have had to wait well in excess of an hour to download and install the game updates on the PS3.  I’m now starting to understand how Sony supporters have so much time to post comments in the forums.

...

game updates are voluntary, if it says you can update you always have the option to press "no" and play the game without updating (ofc online mode is not available in that case)

Have you ever downloaded a GT5 update?  I could sit with 3 bowls of weed and still be bored with at GT5 update on my friends PS3.
