I don't know about download speeds but going digital only... on 32gigs? Have fun.


I have an external hard drive '-'.


Good answer!  I don't understand why people just don't get it.



People shouldn't have to buy extras such as external hardrives to take advantage of the product they spent hundreds on. But if it's no problem for the OP then more power to him


i rather the freedom than micrososft charging me an arm and a leg for oen of their hdd upgrades.

Or get a PS3 with a built in Laptop Hard Drive... LOL yeah that is a positive that you have to buy an external... LOL Nintendo fanboys...Wow!


$599

 

ps: I have all consoles, I don't get hung up on trival things.

The initial update was slower than expected fir the file size but since then no issues whatsoever.

The difference is you name the lowest Ps3 model. I named the highest Wii U model. 8gi Wii U says hi...

But the OP already addressed the issue so it doesn't matter. He sees no problem with buying a external HD so whatev

its almost the same speed but slightly faster than the ps3 download. Does that help give you good measure?

No hypocrisy. No weasling. walsufnir's post was intentionally misleading. But you go convince yourself otherwise.

I'm getting a Wii U in 2 weeks, and I'll be going digital-only with it, so I want to know, is the wii u downloads really that slow as I've read in some places? If yes, does it happen everytime in the day and with everybody or is it a problem that few have had?


Downloads are pretty fast, but the best part about the new firmware update is that the Wii U can download while being turned off (I think Sony gates this feature behind a PS+ subscribtion and don´t know about Microsoft), the same applies to patches/updates etc.

Yeah just like PS3 did it well when it was "new" (20, 40, 60, 80 and forced installs). And the PSV is even better with its memory.

This is like saying "I will never buy an iPhone because I don't want Apple to watch me -- I will get an Android instead!!" lol
