    Film PSN store SD & HD movie downloads

    I'm interested in renting/buying the odd movie from the PSN store but was wondering what the download speed was like. It's no good to me if I decide I want something but am then waiting 3 days for it to arrive. I'd rather walk to blockbuster ! I read on some forum posts that it used to be painfully slow, was just wondering if they had improved it at all ?

    For information i've got a 8Mb ADSL line which runs about 7Mbit full tilt

    cheers,

    malty

    i tend to buy loads now on blu ray, and I've been using the ps3 more and more recently for media, so just wondered what the psn movie service was like. For example I want to watch Moon tonight. It was £3.49 (SD) or £4.49 (HD) for rental on PSN. I've rented it on Blu Ray now anyway, I just wondered if it was viable.

    Not sure if you want to avoid streaming, or if im teaching you to suck eggs, but ps3avchd.net has some VERY good releases that you can either burn to disc or watch with PS3 Media Server.

    VERY good quality and upto/and including HD Audio if interested.

    Fair enough - I must admit there is something to be said for having a decent origional Blu-Ray, I have done the same and bought a few that I have seen already from d/l.

    I find also if the film has subs, like District 9 or Love Actually usually the rips don't have them and it pisses me off I can't tell what is going...
