Guys, do you think it's worth it to download the update if you're just gonna play offline for two weeks?
I'm a college student studying in the US now, and my PS3 is in my home country. I bought GT6 yesterday, and I plan to take it with me back home at December 16, to play it on my PS3. I only have around two weeks to play this game before I have to return to the US for the spring semester.
The problem is, the wireless Internet connection in my house isn't as fast as the one in the US. Combined with the fact that my PS3 does not receive a good wireless signal, (last time I checked, it was less than 50%) it could take up to ten hours to finish downloading the huge update. Getting my PS3 nearer to the modem isn't an option. If it's not gonna enhance the experience so much, then I think I'll not bother about the update. I'm afraid of my PS3 overheating - not to mention that it's also an early 60GB model from 2006. Also, I did not play GT5, so the comments about GT6 not being a huge improvement of the previous title do not bother me so much. I only played Gran Turismo 2, which is still one of my favorite games, and it's the main reason why I joined GTPlanet in the very first place, years ago.
Also, I'm not planning to take my PS3 to the US, or buy another one for me to play here. So, around two weeks of GT6 are just what I'm getting in the near future, before I make another return to my home country at the end of 2014.
