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.

anyone know what time this is going to be ready to download?

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.

Probably around 5/6pm when the store seems to be updated.

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.

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.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
