Xbox 360 Crashes Accessing Playstation Store?
EA’s new Need for Speed Shift is the most bug-ridden piece of code I have witnessed in recent times. But when the Xbox 360 version seemed to want to access the Playstation Store today, things had clearly gone too far.
I’m a complete sucker for racing games, so when I heard that EA were transforming the latest installment in the Need For Speed series into a hardcore sim, I was very pleased indeed.
But after shelling out the equivalent of $70.00 to get my hands on it, i’m very disappointed. I mean, really EA, this game is not even finished. The list of serious bugs being reported by customers is embarrassing and it has crashed on me at least a dozen times.
But this could be the most embarrassing fail of all.
When navigating menus today while connected to Xbox Live the game suddenly crashed again. When my rage had subsided and I got a better look at the screen, I was pretty shocked at what I saw.
Was my Xbox 360 version of Need for Speed Shift really trying to access the Playstation Store? Microsoft are not going to be happy about this.
Update: I’ve had a couple of emails asking which version of the game this is. It is an original PAL special edition version in the black rubber case.
With the right patches this game could be great, let’s hope they don’t take too long.
this is freakin hilarious
“Multi-line dialog text”?? ROFL That looks like someone hasn’t quite finished programming that…
Just saw this on Kotaku. One word came to mind: LOL.
Just more proof that Need For Speed’s been absolutely lame since 2005.

When I heard that NFS was turning completely sim I was upset because its the only semi-decent arcade racer still around. After playing this its a buggy garbage and the game-play its half sim have weird arcade and it sucks.

It’s kinda funny that I’ve never ran into one

buggy then it’s only buggy for some and not all.

Everyone who asks me why I stand by my original Xbox instead of upgrading… Here’s the answer.
Besides, my box is modded, 100gb hdd and no chip. I’m proud of that one.

I do need a racing game for my PS3, but if the 360 one is this bad, i can’t imagine the PS3 one being much better.

I guess EA dropped the ball on this one. I’ve enjoyed Shift a fair amount so far and thankfully haven’t experienced any bugs so it’s surprised me just to see how many are cropping up.
FAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

the advantage console always had over pc was the fact that games couldnt be patched – the disc that got shipped had to be the final version. unfortunately this is the end result of developers realising they don’t need to ship finished products anymore.
Do you OWN a console? Lol at “had to be the final version”.
Patches can be delivered over PSN/XBL, I get a CoD:WaW patch every-so-often.
The Need For Speed series has been going down since Underground 2. I spent £42 on DiRT2, worth every penny.
