How awful is the download time for Rock Band & Guitar Hero content on the PS3?

We rented a room out for a while, and our ';roommate'; had a 360. We used his 360 for a long time, eventually buying a PS3 for ourselves as a Christmas gift last year. The fast download times on the 360 must have spoiled us, or maybe PS3's online service just sucks... I dunno, but the download times for things on the PS3 always seems horrendous.
Anyways... now the roomie and his 360 are gone and we are left with Rock Band and nothing to play it on. Same with Guitar Hero. We miss both games. Our options are to just buy Rock Band 2 for PS3 (cheaper!) or to go out and buy a 360 for ourselves and then just get the new game without need for the bundle. Honestly I think we should just buy it for PS3 and save money, but the husband is pushing for the 360 elite (I think he just wants an excuse).
The concern is... how awful are the download times for content on the PS3?How awful is the download time for Rock Band %26amp; Guitar Hero content on the PS3?
All the content I have downloaded for Rock Band on my PS3 is done downloading before I even have time to see how much time is left. Make sure your PS3 network settings are set correctly. You can even try plugging your PS3 directly into the modem to see if it's a router setting that is causing it to slow down. Sony's online stuff is extremely fast for me, even on wireless.How awful is the download time for Rock Band %26amp; Guitar Hero content on the PS3?
I personally haven't noticed any difference in download times between the two systems. The one thing is that the PS3 will let you download stuff in the background a lot more than the Xbox will so you can keep playing while stuff downloads. Also, how often are you going to be downloading? Is it worth spending an extra $300 just to save a couple minutes in downloading?
dont have many diference...pretty much the same
