PS3 updates.

Iceman · 10 Sep 2011 at 20:23

Just got hold of a PS3 and connected it to tv internet etc. Got hold of a copy of fifa 10 just to mess about till the new one comes out. anyway it requires an update of 39mb's. Not a problem except the fact its going to take about 3 hours to do, Is it normally that slow??

There was a system update too, i ended up doing that via a usb stick

Its not good, looking like i may revert back to the Xbox.

Must be your connection or the servers they keep updates for old games on are running off a gameboy.

Connection is 5mb and laptop works fine just the PS3 updates seem way too slow

Maybe its just slow servers or something today then

Well i gave up on it last night, trying again this morning and the fifa 39mb update is going to take 709 minutes at the moment. This is a little ridiculous!

LIttle bit of an udate, I plugged in an ehternet cable after restoring factory settings and with the cable plugged in all is as expected. I know the router is fine with wireless as my laptop uses it with no problems. Is there something worng with the wireless card in the PS3?
Is there anything i can do to sort this problem out?

Thanks.

It's not the firmware updates, it's just the ones when you insert a game and it says there is an update for the game. Using wireless the fifa 10 update took 15 minutes ( after it said 3345 minutes the night before) with the ethernet cable it took 80 seconds..

Never had any problems with my PS3 downloading stuff, and had the old fat 60GB PS3 and now have the slim one.

In fact, I'm downloading now

What you can do, is do a network test, and at the very bottom, it tells you download/upload speed.

Check that out.

Is this the internet connection test?
I've tried that and it obtains ip address
Connects to internet.
But the 3rd one where its trying to connect to playstation network, it fails every time and wont go no further

I'm really confused by this now, i want to get this sorted ready to start playing online.
