should do over 2 million week 1, and its the type of game where many people will just keep picking it up

=p  When will vgchartz post the first day sales? (Na only is also fine).

Im still having quite a few issues with the online, mainly when trying to race with friends.

Really? While it's little more assuring now that someone isn't having problems but the only thing is that Kaz said it himself along with Sony so there are chances that right now it could very well affect me as well.

But no need to worry, I'll have the weekend to complete Brotherhood anyway so Monday buy won't be an issue for me.

Exactly. No need to be worried. I'm just gonna wait for the patch and then go blam on GT5 next week

Causing even people not actively trying to play online freeze up is a biggie. The patch being out relatively quickly is a good thing, but the problem is going to get much worse before it gets better. Japan launching is going to make the situation more of a nightmare than it currently is, and any problem that causes a hard freeze is absolutely a serious one. There are ways around it but it absolutely a biggie.

well it wasnt a bit much for gears of war 2 was it? that game still getting patched to this day to fix it. theres no c in disgraceful by the way.

Fair enough then. I just loathe people down playing major issues. I get not affecting some people cause there are easy ways around this one just so long as people are willing to admit this was a big mistake. Admittedly it won't be an issue to remember even a month out though. Well assuming everything goes as planned.

Maybe tommorow when we get Japan first day numbers.

wow! good start for GT5, out of my 49 PSN friends a good 10-12 were playing it, I asked them how it was, lets just say "Simply Amazing!!" became the word of the day! lol
