That's all very odd. Not one of my friends have had any issues other than the initial bandwidth issues when it was first released. My friend just downloaded it in less than an hour last night.

I always just put my ear up to the console when I hit the power button. If it doesn't go completely silent then you're set.
The green light on the power button will also flash while it is downloading 'turned-off'.
Mine flashes like that but it downloads a lot slower in 'background' mode. Oh well, from now on I'll just leave it on over night. BTW, I turn it off using the power button on a logitech remote. If the flashing indicates the mode is working then I guess the manner in which I choose to turn it off isn't the issue. Maybe my box is about to red ring!
To add to this, apparently now it will not move beyond 59%. It has been sitting there for an hour. This is the second time this has happened to me with the d/l (first time was in the 50% range) so I just deleted and started it over. Both times were after allowing the thing to d/l overnight only to find out it never completed almost 18 hours later. I have plenty of capacity on the hd.

Do you know if he used the background downloader or played any games/watched any movies while downloading? Maybe my wireless just sucks.

Wow this game is incredible. I only have 2 complaints.
1. I saw some invisible walls at the beginning when I tried to jump over the railing into the water.
2. There were a few times when my guy was turning when I wasn't touching the controller.
I know #1 is very picky on my side, but I'm just very critical of games
However ... this game is going to kick major ass!

I'm still considering picking this up next week. I may go ahead since my Gamestop discount will basically make it $50+tax for me. I just got done playing through the demo again, and even though I had already played through once, I still took my sweet ass time, looking at everything and checking everything.
I just want to know everything I can about the world of Rapture. How it was started, what the little girls with the Big Daddy's are, what happened to make the Splicers who they are, etc. The wikipedia page sets up the back story fairly nicely, but I'm not going back there to read incase there are any spoilers posted since people are already getting the game.

I was going to download that artwork but they said there was a spoiler in it so I am holding off on that I also don't want the story ruined before I get a chance to play it
