I downloaded it in a quicker time than it took to install the bloody thing lol. I'm trying psn + for a couple of months before I decide to go full tme =)

the file is ****in huge!its fkin huge omg and i need to play mw2 <

Fook me!! I got it in about 3-5 mins and it took about the same to install.

Nice! Soooo is there anyway to record our gameplay to the ps3 while we're playing and upload straight to youtube? That'd be cool


I just started my download.. 2 percent took 3 minutes this might take a while

No theres no capture yet, and I doubt there will be! The video editing feature is for you to edit video from hard drive etc to upload to Youtube and FB.

oh alright thanks. that'd be amazing though

and you're lucky your internet is fast.. for some reason im on a wired connectino and my ps3 still runs slow.. oh well. 26% :confused:

That's awesome. I still don't think I am getting Playstation Plus. Another great job by Fletcher!!
