I'm seriously unhappy and trying my best to watch my language because I'd have used half a dozen profanities by now.
Okay, Gran Turismo is a has-been. Millions of GT fans have accepted that reality by now. Like many, after GT5 I was done with the franchise. Before GT6 came out I played the demo, yawned to death, and passed on the sixth iteration of mediocrity.
I haven't even booted my PS3 since the GT6 demo several years back. I hate the whole PlayStation line, to be perfectly honest. Their controllers have always been a cobbled mess and the only reason anybody defends them is that's what they're used to. For my PS3 I bought assorted third-party controllers to replace an as-new DualShart 3 just to get a left stick in the right place, concave triggers, and proper grips that felt like I was actually holding something and not just cupping someone's "attachments", as David Hobbs puts it. My 360's updates were a few seconds of downloading and installing a handful of megs while my PS3 always seemed to want a several-terabyte update to make miniscule changes.
Well..., I booted my PS3 for the first time in several years because I bought GT6. I didn't get it for GT6, but in spite of GT6. The singular reason for getting it was Track Path Editor. All I wanted was to make my own tracks. Had GT6 not had that, I'd still not have bought it. I have no interest in the rest of the game because it's just Gran Turismo, which is a mixer bag of some good and lots of bad.
I still haven't played it. It spent five or six hours updating GT6..., after the eight-terabyte PS3 update. I checked on it and it was finally installing and said eight minutes remained. Maybe ten minutes later it said five minutes remained. A while later it was still five minutes. It was unresponsive. The power button didn't even work so I couldn't even power it down. I turned off the surge protector to cut the power to the frozen, unresponsive PS3.
I'll try again some other time but Sony and PD can both bite me. They're both just terrible. It really solidifies my love of Xbox and Forza.

Luckily I've never had any issue updating things on my system. Does it take a little bit longer than I'd like compared to those with a wired connection? Yeah. But aside from GT5, I've never had to download multiple updates at a time, thank goodness. Plus we got a new router in the spring. It's hella fast compared to the old one.
