I haven't played GT6 for almost a year now. Every time I feel like taking it for a quick spin online I think of all the patches I'm behind and play something else :/
It's a dumb system. Servers are big enough, why can't it have 1 patch to upgrade from whatever version you have to the latest in 1 go.

IIRC it's the whole patching system on PS3 which is to blame here. On PS3 there wasn't a good way for cumulative and differential updates.

Do you know how this works on PS4? Is it at least cumulative now?

I have no idea, it's all in the background on ps4 and installation is instant. Simply restart the game after it's finished downloading. It's the biggest improvement between gens.

It might be cumulative. I was behind two season packs on DC and updating the game once was enough for the rest only to require activation. You do need to activate each piece of DLC seperately. It might still download incremental patches, all you see is 1 progress bar and a ready to install message when it's all done. (which is just activating the patch(es) it seems as all it does is restart the game when you click on it)

Deleting stuff is also quick now. On PS3 some games could take up to an hour to delete (exception), deleting GT5 after getting GT6 took longer than installing GT6. PS3 had a horrible file system.
