Ah...now that's interesting. :)

So...
1. set up internet connection
2. initiate firmware update (assuming it doesn't automatically bothers you to it)
3. click cancel.
4. play some games for some hours (ey...it'll be launch day ;) ).
5. start firmware update.
6. have it installed faster than before. :)

Download? Yes. Install? Wouldn't be so sure about that.

You know what happens when you swap firmware files while you're using those firmware files and the differences are substantial? You guessed it - bugs and conflicts. If I were a designer, I would not allow the user to install the firmware while he's playing games - download, why not, but not install.

Yeah, of course. However, this alone would make a major difference to those with slow internet. The installation part should only take 15-30 minutes or something, not the hours people are saying the update takes.

you have to install the updates manually after the download, i guess, like all the other updates. so no installation while playing i guess.
