which means those who have ps3s can expect a few hours without being able to play anthing while it downloads the new firmware

LOL only if there on dial-up. 20 minutes tops if there using a wifi connection

What is with wifi being so slow on the PS3....it's horrible.

Updates have typically only taken a few minutes, so no worries there.

The bigger problem I've got is that in my circle of friends only 2 of us own PS3's... everyone else thinks they're still too expensive.

 

[Dave K]

I guess I should add that I've got wired gigabit in my house... so I don't have the wifi problem (obviously)

Motivation to buy expensive things it what makes out economy work.

hey its really a tough choice now on what system to get. get a xbox 360 with its high failure rate so you know there's a good chance it will crash on you and have to send it off for repairs maybe more than once in its lifetime. or spend an extra 100-200 dollars for a system that has better quality hardware wise and has mostly the same games as the xbox 360.

don't get me wrong the PS3 has its failure rate's too but i am willing to bet it is not as high as the 360

better late to the game than never i suppose

once ps3 said that psn and xbox live were different, i can barely tell the difference now. looks like their business plan failed

 

[captaincharisma]

well the one big difference is you do not have to buy a subscription to access the PSN network. that's a big advantage.
