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.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By ad47uk · Posted

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
