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.

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal

      "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.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
