ps3 version is BROKEN now... error codes :(

The Doctor said:

after they published the demo people reported of getting error codes when trying to run it... since the demo has released every time I start up TPA, it either fails to authenticate the ticket or gives that same error others were reporting...


ugh can it get any worse?

That error code will be gone once the DLC is released. You are simply getting that error code because the game is restricting you from having access to the DLC which is obviously ready on Sony's side, but have to wait for Microsoft to approve it on their side.

Really, where did you read this?

Do you already have the game installed? If you do, it may not allow you to download a demo for a game you already have.

It's no secret that Microsoft has a policy on simultaneous releases on competing platforms. Did you notice Microsoft didn't have to wait on Sony to release The Pinball Arcade a week early. Had it been the other way around, Sony would have had to wait for Microsoft to approve TPA before releasing it on the PS3.

If you ask me, Sony released the Demo with the DLC in the description, and obviously on the game itself with an error code restricting access to the DLC, to indirectly let everyone know that they are not the one's holding the DLC up. Sony could have waited to release the Demo with the DLC if they wanted to, but released it early for the aforementioned reason. This is all my opinion of course.

how does M$ policy affect sony... if I worked at sony then I wouldn't give a damn about waiting...
so it must be farsight's issue in not wanting to piss off M$...

so lack of DLC on ps3 is ultimately farsight's fault...

Farsight can release on Sony, but then they will not be able to ever release that content on Xbox. So yes this DOES come down to being all on Farsight as it is their decision to hold the PS3 release.

Many of you missed the last sentence of my post which said, "This is all my opinion of course."

I would prefer that Microsoft get a little of what is coming to them. Release the first 4 tables on PS3 as promised, let MS block them from ever being released on xbox, let the xbox users foam at the mouth to Sony rather than FS.

Doing that would cost FarSight at least $150,000 in potential sales and something like that could seriously criple a small independent developer like FarSight who, as I see it, are trying their best to work with the distributors they are currently trying to do business with. This move would be bad for ALL TPA consumers as well.

But its ok to alienate the not insignificant PS3 playerbase?
