This is not acceptable at all. I was thinking about getting this for the PS3 launch, but I'm worried that it may have similar problems. I don't care if they can patch it. They need to get it right the first time.

I love reading the moronic comments about buggy console games. Console games have ALWAYS been buggy, they just call them "cheats". I still remember playing one of the old SNES games back in college (late 80s / early 90s), I think it was Double Dragon, where one of the key "strategies" was to get a guy to the edge of the screen, scroll it so he was just off, and then you could wail on him with impunity. Folks, that was a "bug". They have ALWAYS been there. It's just that the games are getting more complex, so if, say, 1/2 of 1% of the feature set is buggy, you have far more features, so you see far more bugs (plus it's just that much harder to test all the interactions).

Not condoning online play not working at all, though. I'll be curious to see if this is one of those cases where "everyone" has problems, but it turns out most people are playing fine, it's just a few with issues, or if there really is a fundamental problem with their online play.
