I cannot get on to a Sony ranked server at all. I get to the loading game screen but then instead of entering the game it just quits to the game over screen. This happens on every Sony ranked server, not on the normal user servers. Its only happened since the v2.0 firmware upgrade. Warhawk 1.1 Downloadable version. UK PS3 f.w v2.0

It's not disgusting, it's just... unbelievable and weird.

What monumental change did the 2.00 firmware of the PS3 bring to the table that would pressure Microsoft into countering it with their own update?
Color me unimpressed.
PS: Unless, of course, you were being sarcastic. Because everyone just knows how to read sarcastic in writing without any indication.
