Forums - Sony Discussion - How long on average should a 10Gb game take to install?

Tagged games:

I've finally gotten round to downloading the ps+ games and unsuprisingly, they are all large files, fair enough. But the problem comes when installing, just tried to install darksiders 10gb in size and it took 1hr...is that normal?



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

6 minutes for 1gb seems a little long, but nothing too out of the ordinary.



Okay, thank. Seems I'm gonna have a lot of fun installing my 200gb worth of games then...

Extremely fast for me. For a 14 gb game took me 48 hours. That is almost .25 gb per hour.

I think you might have HDD problems. It shouldn't take that long O_O

Don't forget that you can let those run through the night and have the system shut off when it's done.

Just installed dead space 2 there on mine which was 11 gigs, it took about 12-15mins to install the game as in from 0-100% but after it was done that it took about another 7 mins of clock icon spinning while it removed the downloaded game files from my Harddrive, and that is on a ps3 slim 160gig which is fairly new so if you're working on an older model again 1 hour for the full ps3 games might not be too out of the question.

It's a brand new 320 model....oh boy x_x

I think I'll let my PS+ handle it.

must be because my PS3 is ancient compared to what most people have + slow internet.

he stated he isn't talking about downloading the actual games so speed of net doesn't have anything to do with this, once you got the games downloaded from psn they appear on your list of games in little bubble form and before you play them you just gotta hit X on it and install this can take a good while for full ps3 games that is what he is saying is taking an hour not his net speed downloading the games.
