Okay, so my PSN is YellowSnow4. Last night I played 2 demos (Mirror's Edge and Grid) which were both really cool. Mirror's Edge was too short though, of course. When I went to bed, there were 11 demos downloading and it wasn't fininshed yet this morning.
My PC would download the ~8GB of data in a couple hours given a good server as I have 5Mbps broadband, but whatever.
I really like that it can download several games/demos in the background while I play games and that it does them one at a time (what good would X number of partially downloaded demos do me?). My buddy just came in and lent me Assassin's Creed too.
Things I didn't like are:
1. Can't do anything while system updates are being downloaded and installed. No biggie though.
2. Relies on Windows Media Center instead of just being able to map folders over the network. As of right now, it won't play AVI's through WMC, didn't try copying to the HDD via USB or data disc yet, but I'm hoping I can load some codec for Windows or something. I'm just used to using VLC Player for everything and anything...oh well. I can always drop video on a thumb drive I guess, but my buddy just told me that some of the movies I've downloaded and burned for him won't play on the PS3. Maybe I won't be getting rid of my $40 Walmart HD DVD/DivX player so quickly.
3. Uh, Youtube videos get choppy when you move the pointer? Oh I know. Is there any way to tell it to just install games/demos as soon as they download? Installing all of the demos I have downloading seems like it will be tedious without some batch way of doing it.
Other than those petty gripes, I really like the system. The demos I played last night looked pretty good.
