So a bunch of PS3 Black Ops buyers (well, about 150 or so) have decided to launch a petition demanding refunds for the game because – allegedly – it’s “inferior” to the Xbox 360 version. No, seriously.
According to the complaint, the PS3 version of Black Ops features “sub-par graphics, buggy software and less features [sic]”, despite the fact that the console can “equal and/or outperform the Xbox 360 on many levels”. Apparently the fact that the game’s fun to play regardless is quite irrelevant.
Furthermore:
“Is it fair to charge Playstation 3 owners the same price for an inferior product, when both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 had the same amount of development time? Is it fair to charge Playstation 3 owners the same price for an inferior product, when the previous version (Modern Warfare 2) was equal on both systems but the updated version (BO) is not? Is it fair to charge Playstation 3 owners the same price for an inferior product, when the previous version (Modern Warfare 2 on PS3) looked visually better than BO looks now on PS3?”
I think my favourite bit is where the guy who posted the petition claims triumphantly that he got his refund – by trading in the game for something else.
