Oh wow... would have put this in the "bricked thread" but it got locked.



Messed up if actually true.

I'm trying to figure out why his system would brick on a download. I doubt it would be updating while it's downloading...

Things break.

Took me less than hr to DL and install.

[elektrixx]

My plan remains sound; Going to the midnight launch, queueing downloads and going straight to sleep.

Fast total.. right?

I mean why invent the wheel if you can just do what others did? Sony now does incremental updates, lot less MB's to download just like MS, who always did this.

It IS possible that given this is the first update it changed a lot of stuff, basically redownloading the whole OS. You'd think it'd perform better if that were the case though. Anyways, hopefully that means future updates go quicker and smoother.

... And system shutting off on its own? Yeah, definitely would want a UPS for that.

 

[Darko]

Update is taking forever.. I hope this isnt a regular thing and they make the next one incremental..

 

[Stormwatch]

I wanna play now!!! At least my GameStop opened up 1 hour early unexpectedly.

 

[nintendoman58]

5GB? I thought the thing was broken when it was updating!

YEEESH.

 

[Canis lupus]

Damn thats a big update.

 

[Htown]

5GB? I thought the thing was broken when it was updating!

YEEESH.

It's not 5GB

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Well, I'm glad I got the Deluxe.

But with external hard drive support your storage is practically infinite! The only limitation is you.

 

[Paladin CL]

So.. how much is left for users in the 8gb model?

 

[Cymbal Head]

My download just finished in under an hour. Not ideal, but not unreasonable. I've been waiting 2 years already, so what's another hour?

 

[IlSignorCornetto]

So.. how much is left for users in the 8gb model?

3 gb

 

[Paladin CL]

3 gb

ok thanks :S

 

[Despera]

3 gb

ok thanks :S

Have you guys read the OP?

Also:

I'd feel pretty good saying it's about 1GB.

in a generation of DLCs, updates and little digital distribution games... this why I am not getting a Wii U

"but you can attach your own external HDD!!"

you think devs will push content knowing that majority has no space?

TTT2 is 17 gigs so... yes?

Shouldnt matter. All they have to focus on is that they have at least 7GB (assuming that 1GB is taken for this update) to work with. Thinking mostly about DLC and update patches then. 7GB is enough for that.

The 360 didn't have much trouble getting digital content even though they sold SKUs that didn't include ANY onboard storage. Even now the arcade model only comes with 4GB.

what is TTT2? I don't understand your language


edit ah, Tekken Tag Tourney 2, okay... uh

 

[Snapshot King]

Christ this thing is taking ages. Ive got a greay connection but Ive been staring at this tiny blue bar for the past ten minutes and it hasnt budged a pixel.

 

[onQ123]

Edit: wrong thread SMH

 

[PaulLFC]

1GB seems... a lot. Is it, or are the PS3/360 updates a lot larger than I thought they were up to now? I can't understand why on earth a system update is anywhere near 1GB in size.

 

[Downhome]

Update downloaded, installed, and now system resetting. It took right around an hour or so for me.

 

[Tagg9]

Pretty sure the largest PS3 update is like 150MB.

 

[angelfly]

A 1GB day one update is crazy.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Keep getting an error right after it's "checking for update." Does This mean the servers are full?

 

[SephCast]

I think mine's done updating right now. Didn't really take that long at all, like 15 minutes.

 

[Randdalf]

A 1GB day one update is crazy.

I'm expecting there to be similar situations when Durango/Orbis launch as well, to be honest. Everything about today's industry is so rushed and last minute, a lot of big games have day one updates because they were rushed to release. I wouldn't be surprised if M$ and Sony are scrambling to get their console out first, since the 360's earlier launch gave it the edge this generation.

 

[LFMartins86]

More like 250MB.

 

[JoeFu]

Lol just started it! Here we gooooooo!!!!

 

[Anticitizen One]

This update is ridiculous

 

[Kccitystar]

150 MB for full firmware
130 MB for firmware patch (I think)

 

[sakipon]

This update is ridiculous

As long as the big updates bring new features, I'm in. They can send them over every week if they want to. Some lame security updates though, with nothing new for me... those annoy me even if it's a small download.

what does this update bring?

I'm glad they decided on a staggered release, I can't imagine how bad it would have been for eu / uk owners if it was a worldwide release. the servers would be getting hammered.

 

[PowderedToast]

lttp but what a fucking mess, wow

 

[oatmeal]

I'm just chillin'...updatin' and shit.

No big deal.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Fast don't lie.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Talk about rushed geez, im just going to play without updating for a while. You figure after the wii and 3ds they would a good idea on how to get online right out of the box.

But for Microsoft I'm going to pretty sure the main FirmWare can still be pretty lean, as the invidual components will simply be Apps that can be updated separately, and asynchronously. And I'm expecting Sony, after countless complaints, and the store now a separate App too, will be fairly similar - Vita shows this trend also.

 

[Anth0ny]

Download finished in about 30 mins for me, maybe less. I'm surprised.

Installing now...

 

[MrTroubleMaker]
