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.
only a column like this would have come from a microsoft source. let me guess, anything to do with another racing game due to be released soon? pathetic. come on guys, bang your heads together and make a super racing game between you?
wat buttons does it show beside accept and cancel if its x a circle then im pretty sure that this is just bs
but if it is indeed a and b
then
ea games… shame on u

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.
