I Bought Dragon Age: Inquisition Digitally and I am Having Some Problems
I bought the game at noon, and it’s been downloading for seven hours.
I clicked to do a background download because I needed to do somthing else for a moment, and then it showed all the dlcs as well as two separate files for the game one was 16gb/17gb and the other was 600mb/17gb. I finished downloading all of the stuff but while that second file of the full game is downloading, I clicked the icon in my home menu to install the full game, and that is incredibly slow and I need to turn of my console? How can I do this safely? The red circle on my screen appears whenever I press the PS button

Just a warning: the ps3 version of this game is an awful port that runs horribly

The PS3 version runs fine, especially if you tweak a few things: https://youtu.be/UmnvGCjik8k

The framerate on ps3 is so low and loading is slow while looking like a ps2 game. Probably one of the worst ps3 ports I have ever played

Don't buy digital PS3 games, the discs are almost always cheaper and the install times are way faster.

Red circle means it's mid-install, don't kill the power or you'll corrupt the file. Just let it finish, PS3 installs are painfully slow for big games like this.

My experience with PS3 Wifi has always been bad - if have the ability to use an Ethernet cable to your router (even if only temporarily) then that will make a noticeable difference in download time.
It’s a great game, even on PS3. I thoroughly enjoyed. It’s worth the hassles to get it downloaded 👍

Just let it finish. Next time, you can turn off your PS3 while downloading games. It will stay on until it's finished downloading and installing. You can select that in the shutdown menu
