[quote name='zewone']If it was only 5 minutes, it's more like 15.[/quote]5 minutes for me, but my connection is 15MB down, 2MB up (I'm on Verizon FiOS). At my apartment understand
I don't understand either since the 360's updates are quarterly and add a lot of new features and take less than 30 seconds to download and update.
MS is a software company. They had no problems getting several features in under 32MB in game (for the OS). Sony had 2-3X reserved for the OS, yet they were not able to have many features due to the XMB eating up too much memory. That is one reason for the constant firmware updates is to fix things. There have been multiple updates where the PS3 fixes things, but breaks other things (such as certain games no longer working, some not even able to sign on PSN, etc.). MS has the software experience and can avoid these issues easily. Sony's expertise is hardware. It took MS around two years to go to 65nm, while it took Sony one year. Also, PS3 doesn't have the failures 360 has for sure. And that's because Sony's expertise is in hardware.
Let's just say, I find it annoying to have to update to play online when I hardly use the console.
You don't have to update then, just leave the PS3 connected offline. MS forces an update also to connect online, to partially avoid piracy problems (and people trying to get around security when playing online). PS3 firmware updates are constant due to Sony's software inexperience.

TMK and the update? amirite?
[/QUOTE]
[quote name='JMEPO']I could care less about these updates now. Its only a disappointment every time I update only to find that Home is still not released...[/QUOTE]Let's just say, Home probably won't come until 2009, if we are lucky. Part of the reasoning is the old management at Sony had a different vision of Home compared to the new management. Sony even admitted they had to scrap some of Home and redo it because they really took it the wrong direction. And it's not just a matter of that, it's still far from being complete (still lots of bugs and other issues, from beta testers and such).
[quote name='smiggity']Attacking TMK is fine when he makes an outrageous comment, ie ("PS3 best music player") but when he makes valid points, the same point I made a few posts back, why all the bashing? Sometimes his fanboyism does need to be checked though[/QUOTE]The best music player was NOT fanboyism. Heck, at the time I realized that, I could have caredless where my music was being played (I only had a 20GB HDD and oh course I'd rather use my PC). However, I compared the sound quality and it was amazing, for my MP3s, which is why I made it my main music player.
Be careful what you say, because by some of your wording, you could have been exiled from my friends list.
[quote name='Thomas96']funny this wouldn't be an argument if we were over at avs forums.. they think it is the best music player, hell they think its the best entertainment piece that you could have in a box. You guys are just arguing against TMK, and not the reality. PS3 is the best music player..... if not? then what's better and why? I haven't seen anyone post a reason why its not the best, or even offer an altercation. If you can't do thank then just STFU. Damn TMK makes one statement, and you guys jumpinging on him like he's Barack Obama running for president.[/QUOTE]QFT.
[quote name='pimpinc333']Ps1 is the best CD player.[/QUOTE]I dunno, I never bothered to compare my Saturn, PS1, and CD player back in the day.
