This is not a minor glitch. Console gaming is supposed to be easy and fun. This sounds like a problem you get on a PC, not a game console. As easy a fix as this is for many readers on this site, what about the thousands of people who are not computer literate? They buy a PS3, wrap it and put it under the tree with the new R&C game for their kids. Set it all up (and the PS3 is not exactly an easy set up - don't kid yourselves), put in the new game, and you get an error. Most people still do not connect their consoles to the Internet so an automatic update is not going to fix this. Now you have people phoning Sony customer service on Christmas morning asking WTF! What a wonderful Christmas memory. And let's not forget about the annoying sister-in-law telling your wife about how much fun her kids are having playing with their new Wii!
