6gb game = 2gb when downloading? Error 80029563

I've searched google, the EU and US forums, no solution anywhere. The error code doesn't even exist on this site.

 

I just bought Crysis 2 off the US PSN store. In the download list in the store I see all the DLCs and the Crysis 2 game which is 6gb. When I add it to my download list, it shows up as being only 2gb? So I downloaded it anyway, then got error 80029563 when I tried to install it. So I went back to the store and re-downloaded it, the 6gb file turns into a 2gb once added to my download list, I've tried 5 times. I've deleted the Crysis 2 file from game data utility, still downloads as 2gb.

 

I've downloaded plenty of games over the years without any problems and I have 81gb free. I have NO idea what's causing this.

 

I went back to my download list and RE-added some previous successful full game downloads to pinpoint the cause.

5 Dec 2011: Split Second 6383mb, adds to my list in full size

25 Feb 2012: De Blob 2, full size 6gb but like Crysis 2 only appears in my download list as 2gb!

28 Feb 2012: KZ3 mp demo, 4gb, adds to my list in full size

29 May 2012: Black Ops, 18gb, adds to my list also in full size.

 

So only De Blob 2 adds an incomplete/corrupt download, even thought I HAD downloaded this in febuary successfully. So why are certain games not adding to my download list in full? It can't be the size of the game because Black Ops is 18gb and it downloads in full fine. It can't be my connection, otherwise I'd have this problem with all my downloads. If it can handle a 18gb file, why not 6gb?

 

It can't be at my end, I think it must be the server itself which has a corrupt file? I'm completely stumped.

Please use plain text.

You shouldn't have a US account to start with, so you won't get any support here on attempting to get content from another regions store.

Re: 6gb game = 2gb when downloading? Error 80029563

what do you mean "shouldn't"? why would I buy Crysis 2 for $60nz in our PSN when it's half price in the US? It's not a one off, these prices are normal and have been for years.

Anyway I found a solution, just had to restart the PS3, then re-add the download.
