The 360 downloads much faster than the PS3 for me. I'm going to download the Star Wars: TFU demo for both and time them. I'll get back to ya!

Uhm PSN here in Europe is incredible lame (downloading) !!!

I was shocked actually. I thought the 360 needs a long time, but downloading from PSN is even worse :(

PSN is insufferably slow for me. Have never had any such problems with Live.

At 11:20am (Eastern time) I have begun downloading Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for both The PS3 and Xbox 360. I hit the okay button for both at the same time. Both consoles are on the download percentage screens and both are using a wired connection.

The battle for download supremacy has begun!

Both the same for me. The limiting factor is my DSL connection. I guess some people can experience different speeds between the services, but this is most likely caused by their ISP/Router/Network connection. It is nice that the 360 installs at the same time. Sony, what's the point of downloading and then make the installation a manual process?

Thanks for the input, Jeff.

Both vary loads everytime. I think I was expecting too much from the 360 when people touted the downloading as being so quick, I honestly don't see that much difference in the two (apart that the PS3 is wifi and 360 is wired). Not having to install is nice though.
