Did anyone with a Ps3 experience this?

So went to gamestop today and bought a used uncharted 2 game for $13 (beat 3rd one last week but never played 2nd). And of course, like all PS3 games, you have to update the game in order to play it. Usually it takes around 5-10 minutes, however for this game I waited for an hour... for it to load 82%. And the bottom percentage says 7% and 1/9 meaning there is nine updates and i'm almost done with first one. I'm not sure what the problem is... could it be the used game, my internet connection (highly unlikely since it's fast) or because PSN is slow today?

sometimes my Ps3 just slows down the whole thing. It took me 2hour to download 50% of a 150mb file. I just restarted the ps3 and the loading went a lot faster.

so yea, simply restart your ps3 and check if it doesn't load faster this time.

psn speed cap ;3 like how nexon hates wasting bandwidth.

plus it's best to update, most things can be played without it but sometimes there are gamefixes/patches that you'll need.
get it over with really.

for example my disgaea4 made me download like a 3gb patch... which took 2hrs.

My ps3 DL speed is 10 times slower than my internet speed, it's the ps3's fault not your internet
