That 85% won't be stored onto your PS3.

The way PS3 download content from the PSN store(or in the internet for that matter) is that it is downloaded in one entire batch-file. Its identical to IE6's download manager, so if you press cancel before the download is finished the entire content downloaded thus far will go off as well. This is the same for the PS3(also another bloody reason why the PS3 takes ages to download stuff apart from our oh-so-glorious screamyx service).

You can DL demos through proxy on your PC, read the first page of this thread for details.

Can't really say which PSN is faster. Although ironically, I do always get the fastest download speed when downloading from the US PSN. The Europe PSN is the slowest for me. Japan, SG and HK are roughly the same although I didn't really test how long it takes. Of course, it will also depend on your connection during when you download. You know screamyx, can turn into a turtle any time out of the blue.

Q) I can't decide whether to get a 40GB or a 60/80GB?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
I'm new to PS3, Malaysia Sony recently launched the PS3 80GB version of it.

Can someone do a comparison between PS3 80GB & PS3 40GB.

1) Bigger Capacity Of Hard Disk drive?
2) New Game Controller?
3)
4)

The rest is the same specs?

Because I need to know which version is worth to buy?

Thanks alot!!!

oops, the "I can't decide whether to get a 40GB or a 60/80GB? " comparison from the 1st page contains old info.

buy the 80Gb MY set and get local warranty (1yr)
buy the 40Gb import set, (mb cheaper) but no DS3 and no local warranty

Someone stated that the Msian set is CECHK (65nm CELL & RSX, thus lower power consumption & cooler than earlier models)
There are 40GB set with 65nm or 90nm RSX chip. To be sure, just check the model number. You can go to this site to get SKU comparison.

But if I were you, I'll just buy the official Msian version, because of the warranty smile.gif

^i know this sounds silly, but u actually have to login to PSN and start the demo d/load. then pause it and get the link from the proxy program, and d/load using PC.

so, actually proxy program is not that useful anymore (since FW2.35 i think)

CECHK uses 65nm process for both Cell and RSX, pretty much confirmed.
While indeed, it "technically" is cooler than the pervious models, it actually isn't. CECHK models don't use heatpipes anymore, just alluminium sinks(not even copper) and the fan speed has also dropped as well. So yea... in a way, it does get warmer than the CECHG/CECHH(CECHH also has the lower fan speed, but still uses the same 2 heatpipes from the Cell and RSX).

40GB sets still on sale in Malaysia is currently CECHG(although this one is pretty much OFS) and CECHH. They are on 65nm Cell and 90nm RSX.
