PS3 CoD:Black Ops Buyers Want their Money Back

The day that anyone takes an online petition seriously is the day I leave the internet forever.

And in the end, everyone else pirated the game on PC... No complaints from them yet!

Oh "Wah wah way." Blake is right about caveat emptor. If it's a multi-console game, it don't have to be "exactly" identical. I'm sure there was a difference toward graphics for CoD: MW2 ;^) Anyhow this is what I just did.

Comments: YOU LOSE GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!

If ps3 owners think they've had a rough time, try playing the PC version. If ANYONE deserves refund for inferior product, it's the PC users.

Bahahaha this reminds me of when a bunch of people payed for the pre-alpha version of Minecraft, and then started crying and demanding refunds because it wasn't finished.

@Doc_Holliday: i rest my case, the pirates ain't complaining so far ;)

Maybe Wii owners should start a petition to get a refund on pretty much every game for the system.

Funny how the PS3 version of Red Dead Redemption had a lower resolution than the 360, yet I never saw a petition for it.

Huh.

Blake, "fact remains that as a consumer you are responsible for being well informed about the purchases you make" is a nonsense argument when something is marketed the way that this was. Expecting a Chevy to be the same a Porsche wouldn't make much sense, but people know that the difference between the two is huge. In the case of PS3 and Xbox, the games are expected to be the same, even more so when they are marketed as the same. PS3 owners got f.u.c.k.e.d on this one. Why should I have to research whether or not an Xbox version of a game is better than the PS3 version? That's retarded. Or something, I dunno.

To lien: we have had huge complaints over lag issues and downright unplayablity. but we aren't consoletards. We waited for a patch. And, as always, the PC version looks the best :P

Of course, looks aren't everything, tricks count for more.

@dcig311: It's pretty common for the ps3 to get the short end of the stick graphic-wise when it comes to multiplat games, so I don't know what you're surprised about.

How about you just don't buy Black Ops at all. Problem solved.

@Will: Agreed.

As a PS3 owner, I've been hearing about my system's "hardware superiority" for quite some time and seeing some games look great in comparison and others...not so much. In the end, they are two different programming systems, if they were the same it'd be different.

These are the breaks, friendo.

@Eyebrows: Did they release a patch to fix some of the issues with the PC version? I've been hesitant about buying it because of some of the playability issues I've read about.

I failed to understand what exactly wrong with the ps3 version. Can anyone link me up (preferably via PM)?
And btw, I used the PC version, and it completely rocked.

PC version did get a patch that helped a little. My biggest problem is no party system. If you want to play with your friends, prepare yourself for a tedious experience.

@usaglory Hilarious i like it and completely agree.

I didn't buy Black Ops and i feel fine :P Splatterhouse and Hot Pursuit are good.

Um, yeah, as someone who is out of the loop on this one, what exactly was wrong with the PS3 version? Could someone give me the short version here?

@dcig311: It is ALWAYS the job of the consumer to be aware of what they are purchasing. If you are expecting the two games to be the same, then you are assuming something that has not ever been said, and that's a fault of your own. Marketing is what? It's designed to make you BUY the product! There's a difference between being truthful, and telling the WHOLE truth, and marketing is very good at demonstrating that difference. If marketing is saying "Black ops is a Bad-ass game, and it's a MUST have for PS3 or Xbox 360!" what about that is lying?

@ everyone who commented on my comment: I miss morals. Whatever happened to them? It's true, marketing is marketing. I have made a living in marketing, but in the world of video games, I think it's crap that my $60.00 means nothing more to the developers than $60.00. I guess I'm a bit naive with this industry. I was under the impression that game developers viewed their products as art, and as artists, took pride in what they put out, regardless of platform. Lesson learned.

mr blake morse, sorry 4 beeing harse too, but is ur job to inform us about quality of videogames. the only research we can do is reading reviews from sites like yours, and every site gave the same critic for both xbox and ps3 versions. you should inform us better and not trying to give blame to consumers, its ur fault.
