Re: Why did Toshiba really drop the HD-DVD Ball?
My experience with GT5-Prologue is waiting to play the game. PS-3, as a rule is fantastically fast, except when first loading a game. If think GT-5p took about 4 minutes (my download bandwidth was about 23 Mbps at that time + disc loading and game formatting)

GT5P does download a portion of the game to your hard drive & they have updated the game so that required a download over the internet. |

Shouldn't we all see the same install and update time?
Well, maybe not!

That is a long time kenny. I guess you microwave some chicken wings, and popcorn while you wait.

Where's the poll option for "not paying studio executives enough payola"?
