On the XMB go to the Network tab and go down to download operation or something like that.. should be the 2nd last one I believe.

Network tab, scroll to the bottom where "Download Management" is located. Click there and it'll show your queue.

1600 minutes times (1 hour / 60 minutes) = 26 2/3 hours (26 hours and 40 minutes)

# 368 ibru08 @ 03/05/13 12:22 AM

# 369 JKorbini @ 03/05/13 12:23 AM

# 370 porkchop @ 03/05/13 12:23 AM

40 minutes left on the main game and the bottleneck is on Sony's side. I'm watching netflix on the xbox then I'll switch to the additional content

# 371 Number2DJ @ 03/05/13 12:24 AM

Well, once you guys finish downloading, have fun with it. I'm just gonna wait until the afternoon and pickup a copy at Best Buy.

All at once you'll need approximately 43gb. They split it up into 2 10gb files though, so you should be able to download one part --> install, then download the other part --> install.

Mine is finally working. 5% and counting. Glad it came up but when you say it will be available ay 12:01 be available at 12:01, not 12:15. 10% now.

# 374 Foo4Everlong @ 03/05/13 12:27 AM

I had quite high dl times as well. I plugged PS3 directly to router, and started downloading the individual files instead of all at once and it seems to be going much faster! Should have everything by 1am east coast. Fingers crossed. Maybe those of u having high dl rates try dl'ing the individual files and see if that helps. Later

Did you think it was going to only take like 15 minutes or something to download an entire game? A 5-hour download is pretty reasonable (and is about the half the time mine is saying it will take).

This is exactly what I was thinking too. A few thought they could d/l in a few minutes lol.

# 377 JKorbini @ 03/05/13 12:35 AM

Kinda curious why its downloading additional content first, rather than the game first.

# 378 wonkyr @ 03/05/13 12:36 AM

I usually download 3.99 GB files in 15-20 minutes....so I expected about 2 hours.

# 379 Knight165 @ 03/05/13 12:38 AM

Will it automatically start downloading the game and online pass after it finishes the additional content?

Thanks.
