What is the point in bothering Sony to rush the patch out? What if they did that and it turns out it causes more problems than it fixes? Then this thread would be blaming Sony for "not doing their job".
If that's the real situation Sony should say so.
This patch deals with memory fragmentation issues, which is something Sony has to take VERY seriously as it is a patch that works with the PS3's hardware and firmware, not simply with the game engine. Again, this is why New Vegas was patched very quickly but not all patches are.
Additionally, every credible source (ie people who work at BioWare and professional reviewers) have noted that this problem has happened to very few people. If you read this thread, you will notice that there are maybe two dozen total people who keep posting about it - not hundreds of unique complaints.
Has happened to very few people? What credible statistics are you basing this conclusion on? The only reason I feel the need to continue posting in this thread is when posters like yourself want to suggest that it's not actually happening to anyone.
As if this is all some fabrication for the sake of a smear attempt or something. I am thrilled to have ME2 on my Playstation, even with the bugs. But my experiencing a corrupted save is hardly some thing I've made up, it's hardly something anyone else has made up, it's hardly something that is a negligible problem as you're trying to suggest.
I personally am on my third playthrough and have had no issues, and I HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN USING THE WORKAROUND! The only thing I do is take a break every 2-3 hours if I play that long, which you should do for ANY game you play, if only for your eyes and wrists to get a break!
If you are taking a break every two or three hours... YOU HAVE BEEN USING THE WORKAROUND
Anyone who insists on continuing to complain about this problem should probably register their copy of the game. When I see a bunch of posts by people without a "2" under their avatar, it makes me wonder. It is not that paranoid to think that XBox fanboys might be artificially exagerrating this problem, because fanboys do things that make far less sense. Fanboys, in case you haven't noticed, are usually not the brightest bulbs on the internet.
I'm a PS3 owner.
I'm still a Bioware fan.
I'm open to the possibility that there is a good reason for the patch process taking so long, but if there is a good reason, it seems that Sony could make the small effort of letting us know why it is the case. Especially when they waste time on a press release that is self evident with regards to people who use pirating technology. Pirates are not owed a warning before PSN permanently banishes them. Pirates who don't know they'll be caught are stupid.
Pirates don't deserve the time of Sony. PS3 owners who aren't using pirating technology do deserve Sony's time.
That's fair isn't it?
