[Official] Playstation Home

I don't know, the 360 and PCs in my home download quite fast..even my iPod downloads (wirelessly) quicker the the PS3. Also I've tried putting the PS3 in a DMZ with no effect and tried a wired connection and is just as bad :/ if the issue isn't with Sony, then the only other thing I can think of is my ISP is intentionally throttling PSN traffic and it's #%#@ annoying! :(

Yeah if it's consistently those speeds everyday since you've bought it, definitely something up.

We've got another few NW's from Australia, maybe see what they say.

Cause as I said, 4 hours for 77mb is 56k speeds, and even when PSN is busy you're talking low broadband expected speeds usually (people moaning about it going at 1-2mb a second, instead of capping their 3-4-5-6mb a second connections), not 4-5-6kb a second.

PSN runs on different ports from the 360, I'd try giving your ISP a call and asking if they're blocking/throttling any of the following ports

* TCP Ports: 80, 443, 5223

* UDP Ports: 3478, 3479, 3658

Yeah I will thx :) I'll also have a further tinker with my router, apparently having a NAT 3 connection can also cause slow PSN downloads. I've found out some things I can try to see if I can change that and see if that improves things for me. If all else fails, I'll contact my ISP and see what they have to say about it.

NAT3 means the ports the PS3 needs to use aren't open. You need to get NAT2.

So if you have a NAT3 either you haven't setup ports correctly on your PS3/Router, or your ISP is throttling/blocking.

SCEE says evening

SCEE?s confirmed to VG247 that Home will launch tomorrow ?evening,? although a specific launch time isn?t available as yet, a rep said this morning.

Sony announced this morning that Home?s open beta will be available for all PS3 owners ads a free download as of tomorrow, December 11.

Bear in mind the ?evening? timing came from a UK rep, so don?t be too surprised if this means morning PST and afternoon EST.

Didn't they also say somewhere that it wont be available from a firmware update/Store download?

So I can only assume it is going to appear on the XMB at some point?

What do you mean? you download it in the Store and when you install it, it puts an icon in the Network section of the XMB...that what you mean?

no no, lol.

I swear I have read that someone from Sony said that when it is released, it wont be released as a download from the Store of Via a firmware update.

So that when it does come out tomorrow, I would assume that they meant it will just pop up on the XMB and then people download it through the XMB instead.

And I swear an earlier version did it this way too.

Ah that is what you meant :p sorry!

[ph0bia]

is it going to totally replace the menu when you boot up your ps3?, like go straight to home...or do you have to launch it? also if it has to be launched, will there be an option where u can boot straight to home without having to launch it, anyone know?

It isn't replacing the XMB menu at all, I think that's been mentioned a few times, it will only be present on the XMB, and as I said earlier, as an optional download?

But I dunno about the logging straight into Home, we will have to see, but I doubt it.
