"With Limelight's CDN technology, SCE is able to ensure fast and stable delivery of its latest system software to PS3 and PSP users, with updates ranging in size up to 150 MB, direct to the entertainment systems,"SCE's press release states.

Limelight Networks are very excited by the prospect of being SCE's main global delivery network.

It doesn't matter. As soon as 2.0 drop with HOME, it will seem slower the any other update we have ever had. You have to remember that Sony sells have been going up and some people are not even updating until they we get HOME.
