When are they going to get some semblance of a real online network up? I mean, what good will an XMB or Home be if the actual games don't work?

I'm sitting at home and really excited about picking up GTA and either PS3 or 360. All day I read about possibel freezes - more on the 60g PS3 than anywhere else it seems - and the fact that the online PS3 component is crippled at launch.

Ugh.

I'm not saying thousands of people are suddenly rushing to the 360, but I'd bet there's a few handfuls out there that might have swayed if they'd waited this long to decide.

what the hell are you talking about? the game was fine on the morning of release, but the inevitable happned when everybody logged onto the network. the servers crippled because of overwhelming traffic, not because psn is a crappy service. they obviously didn't anticipate the demand that they recieved, that's all. i'd say it's a good thing, because they probably sold more than they thought they would. anyway, the servers are back online, so they addressed the problem VERY quickly. unlike the xbox live incident at christmas, which took a month to resolve. psn is a very stable network, it just lacks functionality, which alot of you seem to be confusing with each other.
