Anyone else have a problem down loading game from Playstaion Network to you PS3 ? Last night I got home thinking it would be easy so I bought the game Siren :Blood Curse . Transaction went through great ,but after I bought the game it didn't tell me how to download the damn game onto the PS3 . I ended up calling the techs. at PS , got the run around and before they could even tell me what was going on I figured it out. Now the crappy thing is the damn game has taken all night , still isn't down loaded all the way only one chapter is there and there are 12 chapters to the game and I have chapter3 , need chapter one to play the damn thing. So while I am at work my PS3 is on at home still downloading. Fuck this I will go to a store and buy the game next time !

Well it all depends on if you are using a wired connection or WIFi. If you are wireless your DL speed is going to be greatly reduced from that of a wired connection. As well if it is wired how many MBPS are you connected at? The DL rate is always determined by file size and connection rate. Im currently on a 1.5 MBPS connection and it takes about 20-25 minutes for a 1900kb demo to DL and install, so i imagine to DL all 12 episodes of Siren would take me close to a full day.

You cant buy Siren in stores, fyi. Always make sure they arent store exclusives if you want to buy the bluray version.

I Qwest wireless conection ,but I think this game is really huge. What I fucked up on is I started down loading all the chapters at once , instead of doing them one at a time. Thats why its taking so damn long , but its my first time so live and learn .

Well aside from it being stored locally, the game will look the same on either version. I cant imagine playing my ps3 without an HDMI connection, lol. Get a new TV!!!
