will it be optional i wonder?
Apparently not - I need to confirm, but the patch may already be available and Gran Turismo 5 players are reporting that they need to download this update before they can get the new GT5 patch... and play online, obviously.
OK, the update is now live... but doh! I forgot to check if it's optional... ;(
Ah, checked - nope, not optional! ;(
yup - downloading it now so i can play UC2 online. wouldn't it be cool if we only had to download the stuff that is new in the update, instead of the full 170mb (and growing) patch every time. how does it work on xbox 360? the patches for the dashboard and games seem much smaller than on ps3 somehow...
p.s. thanks for checking it out for me anyway!(-:
No problem!
