That makes me feel better, bet it's still up in Japan though

[gurry]

That might explian why it was so easy to get my Konami and game ID this morning........

To$$ers. Get it sorted i want to play...............

[Billhouse]

So we will have more details tommorow morning. I bet the open beta starts on April 29th the same day as Grand Theft Auto IV so Konami have only 4 people on the servers. Even then those 4 will probably be disconnected! At least it got extended to May 11th and I also hear that during the beta they will be adding a 3rd map so at least there is some good things to look forward to once its sorted out.

[ant3b]

[prezzy]

Can't say am suprised but what the fuck did they expect with an open beta ffs

[Gavin M]

[MonkeySputum]

Is there any part of this debacle that made sense to you?

[Hodge20001]

once again the shitness of the PSN is revealed

[MonkeySputum]

this has fuck all to do with the PSN, the only part involving it was the initial download of the beta from the playstation store, which worked perfectly, the update and ID are all konami's fuck ups, as are the server failures. LOL at your fanboydom though

[HELPERS]

it has nothing to do with psn-its konami side prick

go and fuck your 360 and plz remember your network crash 2 weeks ago with your cod4 maps lolol-your old format that dies after xmas and all the sofwear makers of 360 games now moving to ps3 cos they filled up your crappy image disc with a poor 9 gig only

[Thrush]

Halo 3 beta died on the first day so its no suprise that konami couldn't get this off the ground at all. They must have known how many beta codes they've handed out and yet it still falls over on its ass.

Japanese online experiance has a long way to go..
