I just want to add i love my PS3! My best purchase in years, and in full 1080p its magnificent!

The thing with downloading fillums is the majority of people in the UK have limited bandwidth which makes this an extremely lengthy process.

I get 4.7gb dvd images in less time than it takes to watch them

I suspect HD fillums would take longer than a Doovd though. And I bet I could open the envelope from Amazon and put the Bluray fillum in the PS3 quicker than it takes to DL a fillum. And you two are probably not in The majority.:P

Also quite a few ISPs have quite restrictive download limits, which would stop people downloading DVD quality titles let alone HD ones. :(:thumbdwn:

Only cheap ISP's have such daft limits, you get what you pay for!

I'm paying £30 a month and have a 75Gb a month limit, the only saving grace is that they give us an unmetered time slot (midnight to 8am) so the large downloads have to be scheduled for this window. :thumbdwn: I wouldn't exactly say my connection was cheap. :(

Unlike the rest of the UK Hull doesn't have any choice as there is only one broadband provider, so long as you don't count mobile broadband.

I'll probably get a PS3 at some point, but I wish they were backwards compatible with the PS2 as I still use this a lot and would rather just have one machine rather than the clutter of more!

Yeah that is a bit of a drawnback. :(

Tempted to buy one of those VGA boxes and plug my PS2 in to one of my monitors in the den for any occasional gaming...
