HTF Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 i think someone else should do it, so i can get home. :shiftyninja: :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted November 25, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 25, 2008 i think someone else should do it, so i can get home. :shiftyninja: :p Well it seems home can be downloaded unlimitedly, which means if you can find someone with it, ask nicely, and maybe you can get it and download it and it wont take up one of the 5 Ps3 downlaods. The problem is finding someone who is willing to let us downlaod it. Any offers? me love you long time. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted November 25, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted November 25, 2008 Just so you guys know it has to be someone who was selected for the beta. People who it's shared to won't have Home listed under their PSN account downloads. So even although I know have it, sadly I can't share :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTF Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 yeah i figured it had to be an original. that makes it harder to get lol my kinda confused why they would make it a closed beta, when really its not,cause any one can get it. with just a little asking around.

They're testing server stress levels just now. Plan will to be ramp up numbers heavily over a short time window, then if everything is okay, open it up. Last thing they want to do is just open it up and the servers cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 It's 77mb and pretty boring so I've heard from friends.I think each area you visit after that is another 35mb+. Wow, that is tiny! I was expecting it to of been alot bigger then that. Still it's good they kept the size down (although I'm not too worried about size, considering I still have ~170Gb free at the moment :p ) However, even at 77Mb (and ~35Mb+ for each area) it's going to take hours for me to download :/ I can see it now, walk to a new area 6 or 7 hours later after it downloads the file, I can go to that area :rofl: that is the one thing that really annoys me about the PS3, downloading off PSN is so damn slow! It annoys me greatly when I buy a new game, put it in the PS3 and it says there is an update and several hours later it lets me play the game (even though the updates are relatively small, last one was about ~70Mb and took most of the evening to download...) the odd thing is everything else downloads quite fast, either wired or wireless (360, PC, iPod etc) end of rant :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted November 25, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted November 25, 2008 Definitely something at your end Xerxes if it genuinely takes hours to download things <100mb on a regular basis. Not everyone gets fast speeds off PSN, but hours for something less than 100mb is ridiculous. Usual spiel from me, but do you have the required ports open? Home was a 77mb download for me which took about 10-15 mins. Each area is a download between around 20mb-35mb. These can be downloaded in the background to allow you to have control of whatever area you're in, until your download completes. When you load Home though it reserves around 3GB of space for itself.

Yeah it is, but I do live in the technophobic/backwards country of Australia :rofl: :laugh: Seriously though, that is a good point about the ports as it *might* be that. Simple things like that seem to slip my mind...I'll take a look tonight at my router settings see if that is causing it.

Thanks for the tip (Y) (sometimes I just need someone to point out the obvious) Most likely will be the ports. These need to be open for the PS3 * TCP:o 80 o 443 o 5223 * UDP: o 3478 o 3479 o 3658 (voice chat) Easiest thing to do though is setup a static IP on your PS3, and make that IP a DMZ on your router. Basically means any port the PS3 tries to use will become open for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, thx (Y) :happy: That should be easy enough, I recently (well a few months back) upgraded my dodgy D-Link router with a Linksys one so setting that up should be a snap :) (on the D-Link it would of been a nightmare, as it had a habit of "forgetting" it's settings).

Corris Veteran Posted November 26, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 26, 2008 Ergh. That is twice so far I have been given a user and password to download Home, the first time everyone was trying, and then someone changed the Password, and the second time I got a message with one but was an hour late for it, and that time someone had also changed the Password again. F*****s, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
