It's 07:40 am, on the 11th Oct here in New Zealand. I'm gonna go have a looksy (being a tad hopeful here admittedly).

 

[diegorborges]

FINALLY! The wait is over.

Looking at the awesomness as we speak. 👍

Picture or it didn't happen! lol

 

[chances14]

I think it'll be less than 1GB.

As some of the latest updates didn't feel good enough for the 300 or 600mb patches we had...

I think they already uploaded stuff before the update then it'll just be updating what's left to make it work...

i think it will be somewhere around 700mb. just a guess

 

[gtuned]

Wow..
Umm.. Yeah i can match you guys.
116.
...
kb/s

 

[Stephen220378]

Is that for maintenance? Or the game update?

Don't they usually do both at once? Any time I can remember a GT5 update due it's been there right after the maintenance has finished.

 

[Nokkien]

Ok Brother, spill it. Post a picture!

Sec, I'll post a video link.

 

[nt1138]

Sec, I'll post a video link.

[DaveTheStalker]

[Nokkien]

Please don't break out the "Rick"

I hear ya, that Rick song thingy is horrible, can't believe people take the time to post that.

 

[dark_ruffo]

And can you tell us how did you get the update earlier?

 

[andrea]

What's happening? I can't contain myself anymore lol

 

[sems4arsenal]

Oh man I am so nervous although My PS3 died so I won't actually play nothing .

 

[afbarnes]

Standard to Premium converter button

Maybe it's the Apature Science:1500megawattsupercollidingsuperbutton?

 

[counter345]

I can't wait!!

 

[gtuned]

Nuffin' over here in NY.
Lucky Norwayianansnnss..
FYI I've had 6 Rockstar X2's today and it's only like 3.

 

[Tenacious D]

If you're downloading a Japanese patch to a European game, that can be fraught with peril... just kidding.

Don't troll us. Jesus is watching eh...

Fibbing is a sin, you know, and leading on Gran Turismo fans is just as bad!

We get 2MBPS internet here; it's a Southern UK thing. The highest download speed I ever got on uTorrent was 800-and-something kbps. It's always slower when downloading on the PSN though.

Its really strange down here. In my area we are on 8mbps but in the town 3 miles away, they only get 2....

BT really need to get there act together regarding their exchanges

 

[Waster3000]

Nothing's happened. At least, not from where I'm sitting; despite it being the 11th in this part of the world. Gonna have to wait a tad longer. Righto, back to the A-spec grinding.

 

[alex291190]

Are you sure about that? I expected a rather big announcement on GT official site or at least by Kaz on twitter since the update is so big and important... but the only source I've found is a couple of lines from a PSblog article... not "official" enough IMHO

That official Sony PlayStation Blog, Ran by Sony. A game also published by Sony. How official does it need to be?

Also the blog was posted by 'Penrose Tackie – European Brand Manager' Who is also mentioned in GT5's credits. I'm quite sure someone wouldn't post fake information if it wasn't going to happen.

 

[LogiForce]

And how much do you (or your parents) pay for that MUUIHAAHAHAHAHH

UVerse I'm playing $25 a month for fhe first year and then $40, the same $40 I was paying for regular DSL 6 down 768 up, down speeds were at 4 on a good day!

Expensive line, and to be honest... DSL sucks since distance to the local distribution point matters. Like you say yourself, you need a good day.

I've got All-in-1 Extra from Ziggo, a cable provider here in the Netherlands. For the price of €67 euros ($91.50 usd)
That gives me the following:
Digital&Analog TV and Radio - 25 analog channels, 60 digital + 12 HD channels
Internet - Stable 120Mbps down and 10Mbps up
Telephone - regular number via cable instead of normal copper wire. Free phone calls to others who have the same service at the same company.

note. Rumors say that the internet will go up to 240Mbps in Q1 of next year. And also they might introduce synchronous speeds. Meaning upload is equally fast as the download.


So now all of you please stop showing off, cause there is always someone faster then you out there anyways. Besides that, the top speed of your internet won't matter since it will be too busy on the servers anyways. Next to that, the PS3 isn't what you call a monster of a downloading machine. lol
Let's just simply wait and see what we get in 7 to 8 hours time.
